To make lime zest, use a zester or grater to remove the outer green part of the lime peel. Be careful not to grate the white pith underneath, as it is bitter. The zest can be used to add flavor to dishes and drinks.

Can you substitute lime juice for lime zest in cooking?

The zest from any other citrus fruit would work fine. However, the recipe will taste like that citrus instead of lime. I suppose a bit of lime juice could work, but I wouldn't suggest it for a particularly delicate recipe, especially if you're baking. Something sturdy like a soup or stir fry should be fine, though, if you substitute juice for zest.
