Grated rind from 1 lemon (or ¼ tsp lemon extract)

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash the lemons and pat them dry.

2. 2

   Hold the grater in your non-dominant hand and the lemon in the other over a cutting board or clean work surface.

3. 3

   Use a fine grater or zester on the lemon rind, careful not to zest the white part, only the rind.

4. 4

   Push the lemon away from you across the rough side of the grater, removing the colorful part of the fruit.

5. 5

   Gradually turn the lemon until all sides are zested.
