I’ll tell you a secret, I often just inhale the aroma of the mood seasoning - I love citrus fruits in all their forms! I prepare this spice for the New Year - instead of tangerines, the zest of which is almost impossible to use, since it does not retain its aroma, I buy oranges and lemons. I also bought ground cinnamon, but recently I noticed that cassia, which is harmful to health, is increasingly being sold under its guise. Now I prefer to look at the cinnamon curls before purchasing to see for myself that it is really her!

So, let's prepare all the products, and scald the orange and lemon with boiling water - they will release more aromatic oil to the surface.

Кухня: European, выпечка, калории: 370, время приготовления: 01:10

Ингредиенты

Orange - 1 pc.

Lemon - 1 pc.

Granulated sugar - 100 g

Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp.

Salt - 1 pinch

Рецепт

1. Use a sharp knife to cut off the peel - a vegetable peeler will not work. Then remove the white film from each strip of peel - it is incredibly bitter and spoils the entire taste of the seasoning. Don't save time - be sure to cut!

2. After this, cut the peel into small cubes and place on parchment paper. And we’ll place it on a baking sheet. Dry the pieces of peel in the oven for 30-40 minutes at 80-100C. Don't forget to open the door slightly during the drying process.

3. At this stage, your kitchen, what a kitchen, the whole house will be filled with the citrus aroma of the holiday!

4. You don’t get much dried zest, but it’s enough to create a supply of baking seasoning for almost six months! Pour it into the container of a blender or coffee grinder.

5. Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and grind into dust. This will take about 5-7 minutes in pulsating mode.

6. The finished seasoning is similar in texture to powdered sugar, but with a yellowish tint. And the aroma is simply stunning! Anyone who repeats this recipe will understand what I mean!

7. I even add this seasoning to my morning tea - it lifts my spirits from the first sip!

8. I advise you to cook!
