While I made vanilla infused sugar and lavender infused sugar previously. I found this a good way of flavouring desserts without having to use artificial flavouring to desserts and cakes.This is good for baking citrus based desserts or just for sprinkling over desserts.
1 cup caster sugar
zest of 2 lemon
Place zest in a mixing bowl and mix 1/2 cup sugar until combine. Leave the lemon and sugar mixture uncovered for an hour or you can place the lemon sugar on a baking pan to dry at room temperature (Zesting releases natural oils of the lemon and create moisture). Add the rest of the sugar and mix.
Place lemon sugar in a jar or air tight container.Give it a good shake and leave it in a cool dark place. If you think the lemon flavour is too mild to your liking, you can add more lemon zest and you think the lemon flavour is too strong, add more sugar.
Voila ! you have lemon sugar! great for the holiday season as souvenirs and gifts!
