An easy way to prepare zest: citrus flavor all year long
Baked goods with citrus flavor are a favorite treat for many. However, oranges or tangerines, which are needed to obtain the zest, are not always at hand.
Besides, who wants to peel a fruit they don't plan to eat yet?
Instead of making such sacrifices, use a little trick - and you will always have the necessary ingredient in stock.
To do this, you should not throw away the peels from the fruits you eat.
Instead, scald the lemon and orange peels with boiling water and try to get rid of the excess white part.
After this, send them to the radiator, where they can dry properly.
The dried crusts must be ground using a coffee grinder and can be stored by pouring them into a glass jar and closing them with an airtight lid.
By the way, you can use zest not only in the cooking process. Some people add it to the bath when bathing, and some people fill silk bags with zest, which can be used to give a pleasant aroma to linen stored in the closet.
