How do you make zest?

You fine grate the peel of a lemon by rubbing the lemon on the grater. You only want the peel. Lemon zest is simply the yellow part of the peel on the outside of the lemon. It has an intensely lemon flavour and is used to add flavour to many culinary dishes. To make lemon zest simply remove the yellow outer skin of the lemon with a grater or zester. Try to avoid taking off to much as the pith (the white part under the yellow skin) has a very bitter taste and can leave a dish with a bitter understate.
