This homemade citrus peel powder is a brilliant way to reduce food waste while adding a concentrated burst of flavour to your kitchen cupboard. By drying out the skins of lemons, oranges, and limes, you create a versatile, low-sugar seasoning that captures the bright, aromatic essence of the fruit. The gentle blanching process ensures that any harsh bitterness is removed, leaving behind a pure and zesty powder that stores beautifully for months.
As a cupboard staple, this vibrant spice is perfect for dusting over grilled fish, stirring into morning porridge, or adding a sophisticated edge to your favourite bake. It is an excellent budget-friendly alternative to shop-bought extracts and provides a healthy, aromatic lift to both sweet and savoury recipes without the need for added sugar.

Spice mill
How to make Citrus-Peel Powder
Preheat oven to 150° or as low as it will go. Using a vegetable peeler, remove peel from 900g mixed citrus. Place peels in a large saucepan and pour in cold water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute. Drain; rinse peels under cold water. Repeat twice more.
Spread peels out on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and bake until dry and brittle, 18–24 hours.
Working in batches, grind peels in a spice mill to a fine powder.
