Instructions
1. Begin by gathering all the ingredients. For best results and balance of flavor, ensure your spices are fresh and aromatic.
2. If using freshly grated lemon zest, spread it on a small plate and allow it to air dry for a few minutes to reduce moisture content.

4. Add the lemon zest to the bowl, ensuring it’s evenly distributed in the blend.
5. Stir the mixture thoroughly with a small whisk or fork until all ingredients are evenly combined.
6. Transfer the blend to an airtight container or spice jar with a shaker top for easy use. Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
