This might be a dumb question but what is lemon zest?

Unknown said...

@TXJULES, Lemon Zest is the finely grated yellow part of the Lemon Rind. Just be careful not to get the white part, or pith,--it is bitter. You can use a testing tool or a small grater to remove to zest from the Lemon.

That would be a *zesting* tool...
