essential oil for you, one that will make almost every baked good you can imagine better: lemon oil. And while that might sound exotic, you've probably got some in your fridge right now and don't even know it. Allow us to explain.

Lemon oil is the aromatic stuff that lives in the peel of a lemon. Ever seen a bartender twist a citrus peel above a cocktail? That's because they're trying to release the oils—and if you look closely, you can even see the tiny droplets of oil fly through the air. The flavor you get from that lemon oil is intensely, complexly lemony, but doesn't have the same brash tartness that the juice of the fruit has.

The basic maneuver is to zest lemons—ideally with a Microplane or other sharp, fine-toothed grater—add the zest to sugar, and massage the sugar. That’s it. Two ingredients. Minimal work. As a general rule, we’ll keep the ratio of lemon zest to sugar at 1 Tbsp. lemon zest to every 1 cup sugar . You don’t want the lemon to overpower the sugar or change the texture too drastically. Once you zest about two lemons to get 2 Tbsp., dump it into 2 cups of sugar and use your hands to massage the sugar and zest for a minute or so. This is where the oils really get released. Macerating the zest into the sugar draws all of those delicious oils out so that they are absorbed into the sugar, and the texture of the sugar will change, moving from sand-like to wet-sand-like.
