Citrus Peel Powder

This makes beautiful and very flavorful powder that you can use to boost flavor and add a brightness to many dishes or desserts. The options are endless.

Makes about ¼ cup

Ingredients

  • Peel from about 10 oranges, lemons, limes, or 5 grapefruit

Instructions

  1. Peel citrus fruit with a vegetable peeler prior to juicing and save peels in a container in the freezer until you have enough. We recommend storing each variety separately to maintain the beautiful color and distinct flavors.
  2. Dehydrate in the sun for 1-2 days, or use a dehydrator or oven at about 150 degrees for 4-6 hours. When the peels are dried, cool and transfer to a coffee grinder (preferred) or blender and grind to a powder.
  3. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
