Step 2How to Pick/Zest a Lemon
When choosing a lemon that you will be zesting, look for the nicest 'skin' because that is the part you will be using. I usually smell the fruit after checking it for blemishes and bruises to smell if it is the perfect ripeness. You can tell this by seeing if the lemon smells yummy like a lemon, or an orange smells like a juicy orange! (Just a tip)
To zest the lemon, first wash it. It is also a good idea to buy organic, but I will leave that up to you! Use a fine grater to rub the skin of the lemon. The first picture is my zesting, and the second is the comparison of a zested lemon vs. a non zested lemon. (Zest to the almost-white part.)
