Use lemon sugar to rim glasses for drinks, sprinkle over fruit, flavour teas or use in desserts. Zest the lemon finer with a grater or microplane if you want more of an intense lemon flavour and you don’t mind tiny pieces of zest.

Step 1
Add sugar to a medium bowl. Using a zester, zest long strips of lemon zest directly over the bowl of sugar so that all the oil from the zest goes into the sugar. (Alternatively use a vegetable peeler to peel the lemon zest and then cut into strips.) Transfer to an air tight jar. Seal jar and store at room temperature in a cool dry place. Shake mixture occasionally to toss mixture together. Makes 2 cups lemon sugar.
