Elevate citrus rinds with easy candied peel technique. Perfect for adding zesty flair to coffee, tea, or desserts.
Ingredients:
  • 3 lemons
  • 8 cups cold water, or as needed
  • 2 cups white sugar, or as needed
Instructions:
  • Slice lemons into 1/4-inch thick rounds, discard the fruit pulp, and cut the rings in half lengthwise to create long strips of peel.
  • In a small pan, bring water and lemon peels to a boil. Discard water and repeat with fresh cold water two more times. Drain and set aside the lemon peels.
  • In a pot, mix 2 cups of fresh water with 2 cups of sugar. Boil the mixture until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Lower the heat, add citrus peels, and simmer until the white pith is translucent. Keep the peels in the syrup in the fridge to maintain their softness.
  • Strain the peels from the syrup and let them air dry. Toss the dried candied peels in sugar and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
