Citrus powder method
Cut a small slice from a side of each fruit and trim out the white part.
Lay the fruit skin separately on the dehydrator tray for 8 to 16 hours at 65*.
Using a clean coffee grinder or spice mill, grind up the dry slices in small batches, one type at a time.
Use a small sieve to filter out the chunks and bits that didn't grind properly.
Immediately after finishing each citrus type, put them in airtight storage containers to keep the air moisture out. Spice jars or canning jars work great.
Add 5gr of sugar and 2gr of salt to each batch of milling. (The sugar counteracts the bitterness of the pith, and the salt helps bring out more the flavour).
