How to Make Orange Or Lemon Sugar

Zest one orange and one lemon using a microplane or fine grater. (Aim for about 2 tablespoons of zest total)
In a food processor or blender, combine the orange and lemon zest with ½ cup granulated sugar. Process for 5-10 seconds, or until the zest is finely minced and incorporated into the sugar.
Add the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar to the food processor and pulse 2-3 times to gently combine. Be careful not to over-process, or you will create a paste.
Transfer the zesty sugar mixture to an airtight container. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (This step is optional but recommended)
Sprinkle generously on your favorite sugar cookies, use it as a replacement for regular sugar in cakes, muffins, or quick breads, or stir a teaspoonful into your warm tea for an aromatic and flavorful treat.
