Anna, how much oil did you use per zest of 1 lemon? A friend of mine said according to Boyajian, it's 1/4 teaspoon oil per zest. Is this about what you used?

Interesting that you should bring this up. I tried the lemon oil in place of the zest for the first time this week. I did use fresh juice, however. I did not find that it affected the taste. I did it to save me some pain (carpal tunnel) but it saved a ton of time, too, especially when you are doing a cake for 250 people. I have used frozen juice on occasion (minute maid sells it in the grocery store in small quanities) for other things and it has worked pretty well. The bottled stuff always seems to have a "dull" taste. |
