Dried citrus peel is used commercially in flavored tea bags and in many seasoning blends, particularly for seafood. Dried citrus is also a main component of "Spike" seasoning, an all-purpose salt-free blend of herbs and spices. Dried lemon peel is useful in flavoring frostings, cookies and other baked goods. Use granulated or powdered lemon peel in place of "zest". Lemon peel pieces are used to flavor tea and for potpourri.
