Zing in a Jar: Homemade Lemon Garlic Mix in Minutes!

This recipe isn’t just catchy, it’s true! This homemade lemon garlic mix is a breeze to make and adds a vibrant punch to all your favorite dishes.

Ingredients:

• 2 lemons
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup dried parsley (optional)
• 1/4 cup red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Method:

1. Zest it Up: Wash your lemons well. Using a zester or fine grater, remove the zest from both lemons, taking care to avoid the white pith (the bitter part).
2. Garlic, Glorious Garlic: Peel and mince your garlic cloves. If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add an extra clove or two!
3. Mix it Up: In a clean, dry jar, combine the lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley (if using), red pepper flakes (if using), and sea salt. Give it a good shake to distribute everything evenly.

That’s it! Your homemade lemon garlic mix is ready to use.

• Store your mix in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 3 months.
• Use this mix to season chicken, fish, vegetables, pasta, or popcorn!
