In this recipe we use lemon peel, but you can also use peel of orange and lime - as long as they are organic.
2
Cut lemon peel (both yellow and white) into thin slices.
3
Boil lemon zest in water. Pour out the water, add new water and bring to the boil again. Repeat a total of 3 times. We do this to get rid of the bitter taste in the lemon peel.
