Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the coarse sea salt, orange zest, lemon zest, and fresh grated ginger.
Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, mix the ingredients thoroughly. Ensure the citrus zest and ginger are evenly distributed throughout the salt.
Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, even layer to allow for air drying.
Let the mixture dry at room temperature for 2-3 hours or until the zest and ginger are no longer moist. Stir occasionally to promote even drying.
Once completely dry, transfer the mixture to a clean jar or airtight container for storage.
Store the Citrus Ginger Salt in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
Use as a finishing salt to enhance the flavor of your favorite dishes or beverages.
