π Treat Tip Tuesday β Get More Flavor From Your Lemons! π
Since Lemon Almond Bread is going into this month's Bakery Box, today's tip is all about getting the most flavor from fresh lemons!
When a recipe calls for both lemon zest and lemon juice, always zest your lemon first! It's MUCH easier to zest a whole, firm lemon than one you've already cut and squeezed. π
A few other lemon tips:
π Only zest the bright yellow part of the peel. The white pith underneath can be bitter.
π Gently roll your lemon on the counter before cutting it to help release more juice.
π Fresh zest adds so much lemon flavor without adding extra liquid to your recipe.
And speaking of Lemon Almond Bread...
