What does the word zest mean?

It's not a unit of measure. It's a kind of thing. In a recipe, lemon zest or orange zest is the thin outermost part of the rind. When grated into fine bits, it is used as flavoring. In cooking, the zest is the thin outer peel of a citrus fruit, obtained by grating the peel of the fruit until one sees the white of the fruit. In a lemon, it's about a tablespoon. In an orange, it's about 3 tablespoon.

What is jesting?

I think you may mean lime zest. In cooking, the "zest" of a citrus fruit is the outer, colourful portion of the fruit's skin. Some citrus fruits which can be "zested" include Oranges, lemons, and yes - limes. The zest contains flavours, scents and oils which can be used in cooking & to flavour recipes, such as desserts. Zest can be obtained and used in cooking by gently grating the outer peel of the fruit with a very fine grater and collecting the scrapings into a small bowl - make sure you wash the fruit well first before zesting it.More information can be found here:http://www.ochef.com/176.htmHope this helps.
