⚠️ Important: use only untreated lemons, preferably organic, because you will use the peel.
👩🍳 Preparation Step by Step
1. Prepare the peels
Wash the lemons thoroughly with water and baking soda.
Dry them well.
Peel the lemons with a potato peeler, trying to avoid the white part (albedo), which has a bitter taste.
2. Dry the peels
Choose one of the methods below:
☀️ In the sun
Place the peels on a tray covered with cheesecloth.
Let them dry for 2-3 days in a sunny and ventilated place.
🔥 In the oven
Place the peels on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake at 50°C for 2-3 hours, leaving the oven door ajar.
🍃 With dryer
Set the temperature to 40-50°C.
Dry for about 5 hours (check the consistency).
⚠️ The skins must be completely dry and crunchy.
