Ingredients

• 1 cup Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)

Directions

Step 1

1. Wash and thoroughly dry the rosemary leaves and the lemon to ensure no moisture is introduced to the salt mixture.

Step 2

2. Zest the lemon using a microplane or fine grater, ensuring to only remove the yellow peel and avoid the bitter white pith.

Step 3

3. Finely chop the rosemary leaves to release their aromatics and flavors.

Step 4

4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sea salt, chopped rosemary, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until the zest and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the salt.

Step 5

5. Spread the mixture out in a thin layer on a baking sheet. Allow it to air-dry for about 1 hour, or until the zest and herbs are no longer moist. (Optional: If you want to speed up the drying, you can place the mixture in a preheated oven at 200°F/95°C for 10 minutes. Be sure to monitor closely to avoid over-drying or burning.)

Step 6

6. Once dried, transfer the lemon rosemary salt to a clean, airtight jar or container for storage.

Step 7

7. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 2-3 months for the best flavor.
