Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of sugar and lemon zest by rubbing them together with your fingers until fragrant.
- Optional: To dry your mixture, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. Place in oven pre-heated in the lowest setting (or set to "keep warm"). Keep in oven for 10-15 minutes until the lemon zest is dry. Take out of oven and break apart any clumps that may have formed.
- Transfer to an airtight container.

Notes
- If you're drying your mixture, be careful not to overdo it. We want the lemon sugar dry, not caramelized.
- To make breaking clumps easier, you can pulse the mixture in your food processor a few times.
