Cooking with homemade orange zest without a grater

Today, I made vanilla cookies to fill up my biscuit tin.  And, I decided to make use of the orange zest that I made yesterday.

I could taste the orange zest in the biscuit.  Not bad.  Soak the dried skins in hot water for 10 seconds before using them.  This will definitely soften the skins.

I am going to use the lemon zest in my next project, the Classic Streusel Blueberry Muffins by Anna Olso.
