I started with two pretty, unsuspecting oranges...
I collected the zest from both oranges into a small bowl and let it dry out overnight.
After the zest was dry, I layered it with sugar in a seal-able jar. Once layered the sugar needs to sit, sealed, for one week before it can be used.
The finished product!
** I chose to infuse this sugar with orange zest, but there are several options to choose from, including lemon, lavender, and coffee beans **
My first attempt at baking with the infused sugar! I made a Citrus Cream Cake!
Enjoy!
