Making Citrus Sugar
You Will Need:
Zest
A Zester
Trust me, it will make this a whole lot easier but you could use a peeler or knife to remove the zest, just make sure you aren’t taking any of the white pith along with the zest.
This is where I got my zester, I like it but one with a handle like this one
would be even better. It just wouldn’t survive in this house, my husband has a terrible curse: he breaks wimpy handles right off thing. Garden shovels, axes, kitchen utensils, you name it.
So yeah, that would be why I got a zester without a handle.
moving on…
For ever 1/2 cup sugar I added 3 tbs zest.
Now you mix them together well with a spoon.
Use the back to crunch the sugar and zest together, embrace your obsessive compulsive tendencies. You can’t over mix it, and you’ll get an arm workout!

And pop the dish in a 200f oven, leave the door cracked to let steam out!
Let it cool then use a food processor, spice grinder
or mortar and pestle
to grind the chunky bits up.
