How to Make How To Make Lemon Lime Orange Zest
- Wash and thoroughly dry your lemons, limes, and oranges to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Using a fine-toothed microplane grater or a box grater, zest only the outermost colored layer of the fruit, avoiding the white pith (which can be bitter).
- For lemons, aim for about 1 tablespoon of zest. For limes, about 1 teaspoon. And for oranges, aim for 1-2 tablespoons of zest depending on the size of the fruit.
- Gently scrape the zest into a small bowl. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent the oils from being released prematurely.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for maximum freshness.
