Make lemon and orange powder for desserts in stock
If you like to make desserts, you need something special as an aroma from time to time. For that I prefer to use the homemade powder of lemon and orange peel.
People who make more orange juice or drink lemon juice daily have a lot of bowls. In my opinion, too much to dispose of. That's when I came up with the idea of making a powder for baking ingredient or flavor.
Of course, this powder is also ready to buy, but some things taste artificially in my opinion. My husband tastes it out right away. This naturally produced powder, he likes very much in the pastries, because it does not taste good. (Except, you wish it, and take more of it.)
To produce a good aromatic powder, it does not have to be organic, but it must be a citrus fruit, where the shell is suitable for consumption.
preparation
- I squeeze the fruit out normally, as usual, with the citrus press and collect the empty citrus halves for 2.3 days in the refrigerator. If I were to peel them first, and then squeeze them out, the juice making becomes very awkward. Because the white skin under the colorful is quite slippery.
- So first squeeze and then I peel off the thin shell with a peeler. From the white skin should not be much, because it tastes too bitter.
- Depending on the variety, I place the thin dish on a sheet of baking paper and let it dry at room temperature.
- It must be a dark room, so that the color keeps beautiful. It should also be airy, as with herbal drying.
- The closed oven would be z. B. not suitable, because there is the air and it could possibly lead to mold growth.
- After 1 week, the shell is dry. She can break it with a crack.
- I have a lot together, I give them in a coffee grinder with knife. Then through a fine sieve. Through the sieve you get it most easily with the help of a spoon.
- Then I spoon it into a glass jar that has brown glass, thus protecting the contents from light and in this case premature optical change to the detriment.
For a Gugelhupf z. For example, I add a large knife tip to the dough. It can be more for a cream cheese topping cream.
I wish you good luck!
P. S: The whole kitchen smells wonderfully lemon or orange in this work. Since you have also practiced aromatherapy.
Who takes it exactly with the hygiene, who can also wash the fruits before pressing and dry well and then process first.
