After you peel it, you can scrape the pith off with the edge/tip of your knife. Kind of like how you scrape seeds out of a vanilla bean..

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.

Can you taste the lemon zest?
Yes, the lemon zest (the yellow part of the peel, not the white pith that is bitter) is the most flavorful part of the lemon. The zest contains the essential oils of the lemon, which represents concentrated citrusy flavor. In fresh or even dried form, lemon zest can bring brightness to any dish. The same characteristics apply to the zests of orange, lime, and grapefruit, but lemon zest is the most widely used.
