Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sea salt
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 orange

Instructions
 

  • Zest the lemons and the orange, making sure you don't get any of the white peel.
  • Add the sea salt and mix well.
  • Use your fingers to gently coax the citrus oils out of the zest.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Pop it in a preheated oven set at the lowest temperature and bake for 10-20 minutes until all the moisture is gone.
  • Transfer to a clean glass jar and store for weeks, if not longer.

Notes

  • Make sure you wash and clean the citrus fruits you're using. I would recommend using organic ones for best results.
  • Zest the fruits carefully and make sure you don't end up scraping the white pith as it can taste bitter.
  • If you want to add other ingredients into the mix, you might need to blitz them first (along with the salt) in a food processor, and then bake them. I did the same when I used whole garlic cloves while making my garlic parsley infused salt.
