🍋 How to Make Lemon Powder (DIY)

🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes

⏱ Dry Time: 6–12 hours (depending on method)

🍽 Yield: Varies based on amount of peels used

🧾 Ingredients:

  • Organic lemons (use as many as you’d like)
    • You’ll be using the peels or zest only

🧰 Equipment:

  • Vegetable peeler or zester
  • Dehydrator or oven
  • Coffee grinder, spice grinder, or high-speed blender
  • Fine mesh sieve (optional, for finer powder)
  • Airtight container for storage

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. 

Wash the Lemons Thoroughly:

  • Rinse lemons under warm water to remove wax and dirt.
  • Use organic lemons if possible, since you’ll be using the peels.

2. 

Peel or Zest the Lemons:

  • Use a zester or vegetable peeler to remove the yellow part of the skin.
  • Avoid the white pith underneath — it’s bitter.
