How I Make Candied Lemon Zest 1 x Lemon (Rind Only) Water for Boiling 50g x Caster Sugar (Plus extra for coating) 60ml x Water Method 1. To make the candied lemon zest, peel the rind from the lemon using a peeler. Remove any white pith using a paring knife and cut the lemon peel into thin strips. 2. Place a saucepan half-filled with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Place in the lemon rind strip and boil for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the lemon rind and empty the water out of the pan. Place it back over the heat and add in the caster sugar and 60ml of water. Once the sugar has dissolved place the cooked lemon rind back into the pan. Cook in the sugar syrup for 5 minutes. 3. Strain through a sieve and toss the lemon zest in a little caster sugar until coated. #candiedlemonzest #recipe #cooking
