In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of sugar and lemon zest by rubbing them together with your fingers until fragrant.

Step 2

Optional: To dry your mixture, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread evenly. Place in oven pre-heated in the lowest setting (or set to "keep warm"). Keep in oven for 10-15 minutes until the lemon zest is dry. Take out of oven and break apart any clumps that may have formed.

Step 3

Transfer to an airtight container.
