Lemon Zest
Citrus rinds are packed with strong, aromatic oils and add a strong punch of citrus flavor to any dish. Lemon zests are often used to add a kick to pastries, sauces, salads and sweets.
Tip
Don’t have a zester? Use a grater, vegetable peeler or paring knife to cut the zest from the fruit rind.
Powdered Sugar
Also known as icing sugar or confectioner’s sugar, powdered sugar is made by milling granulated sugar into a powder. You can actually make it at home by tossing regular sugar in a coffee grinder, or using a mortar and pestle.
