Depends on how you dry it
medium=sweet
hard=tangy/bitter
Lime peel, or dried lemon peel from a grocery store.
yes put the lemon peel in later over night and squeeze the peel in the morning into the water and it will taste like lemon juice
If you are just wanting a citrus flavor, yes you can. However, orange peel will taste different from lemon peel so you might not want to substitute.
Lemon juice can be substituted for lemon peel by adding 1/4 teaspoon per whole lemon. This gives a similar taste when peels are not available or wanted.
If you want it for taste or 'zest', I don't believe there is a substitute.
A lemon has a sour taste and may squeak when rubbed due to the friction between your fingers and the smooth surface of the lemon's peel.
You can eat properly cleaned lemon peels, as they have many beneficial properties, such as being high in antioxidants and vitamin C. You should be mindful when consuming lemon peel, however, because they are quite acidic. Consider consuming lemon peels in moderation.
Lemon zest is the outermost part of the lemon(the yellowest part) and can be obtained by grating the lemon until all the yellow is gone, or by other methods, like using a knife. I read somewhere that you can use a zester too.
no you dont have to but the peel is bitter. better to peel unless you like the taste.
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.
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..
Grated lemon peel can enhance the flavor of your dish by adding a bright, citrusy aroma and taste. Sprinkle it on top of your dish just before serving to give it a fresh and zesty kick.
