Notes

Pro Tips:1. Try using a fine grater to easily mince garlic. A fine grater is also the perfect tool for zesting citrus. 2. When zesting a lime, remove only the very top layer of skin and none of the white pith beneath the skin. All of the bright lime flavor is found in the oils in the skin,but the pith is bitter.
