A Great Tip on How to Make Citrus Sugar

Here is a tip on how to make citrus sugar! Over a small bowl of sugar, grate the yellow zest off of a lemon using a microplane, cheese grater, or vegetable peeler. You’ll want to avoid the white part just under the yellow layer, as it is bitter. To avoid any wax on the lemon skin, you can pour boiling water over it first, then scrub the wax off with a vegetable brush. Next, mix and store the lemon sugar in an airtight container and allow the sugar to absorb the lemon flavor and oil for several days. Following this, it will be ready to sprinkle on waffles, pancakes, or even cereal. It can also be added to fruit salads or served with hot or iced tea.
