Equipment

  • 1 Microwave
  • 1 Food Processor 

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large pomelo/grapefruit Only need the peel
  • 5x Salt Fine salt or coarse salt

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry a large pomelo/grapefruit, get its peel.
  • Use a peeler to shave off zests from the pith. The pith is bitter. So make sure you shave very thin pieces of zest from the peel.
  • Spread the zests evenly over a plate. Microwave the zests for 4 to 5 minutes. I recommend first checking them after 4 minute, then after every additional 15 seconds, until they turn dry and crunchy. So that they don't get burnt.
  • Use a food processor to grind the zests into powder.
  • Sift the zest powder.
  • Mix bigger zest flakes with kosher salt, in the ratio of 1:10. (10g zest flakes : 100g kosher salt)
  • Mix fine zest powder with fine salt, in the ratio of 1:10. (10g zest powder : 100g kosher salt)
