    HOW TO ZEST AN ORANGE

    • Take a fine grater or a zester.
    • Use firm orange.
    • Wash the orange really well and dry with a towel.
    • Now gently zest the orange. Grate only the orange part, never grate the white part.
    • White part will be very bitter, so never use them.
    • Now your orange zest is ready.
    • One large size orange gives you around 1 tsp of orange zest.
