How To Make Lime Salt For Rim Glasses And Flavoring

Lime salt is a citrus granular blend of coarse salt (kosher or sea salt) and lime zest. 

I was at my friend Zuri’s birthday party and noticed that the glass of garden tea punch was rimmed with exciting salt. On query, she said that she bought this lime-flavored salt online. I said to myself, “Emily, you are gonna crack this!” I have made the spice salt, so I know the basics. After two attempts, I made perfect citrus-flavored salt with lime, and it turned out amazing.

Do you also love citrus but never thought of lime with salt? Then, adore your favorite food with fun and excitement. You will absolutely love this salt on margarita, cocktails, meat, popcorn, Rim glasses, tacos, guacamole, and many more! I love it because it adds a pop of citrus to any dish. I often season my favorite dishes with this salt when I want a bold citrus profile.

Ingredients for Citrus Salt

• Coarse Salt: Take a cup of coarse salt, like kosher or sea salt. I use kosher in this recipe for a mild flavor. Coarse salt has a granular grain that is bigger than regular table salt. 
• Lime Zest: The star ingredient is lime zest. Take two tablespoons of fine lime zest. Zesty lime gives the salt its iconic tangy, sour, and citrus flavor.

2.Dry the Citrus Salt

The lime salt mixture is moist, so dry it by baking it. Preheat the oven to 200F to dry the lime salt. Spread (make an even layer for thorough baking) the lime salt on an 18” x 26” baking tray (of course lined with parchment paper) and bake it for 40 minutes. 

3.Store in Pantry

Allow the salt to cool completely before consuming it in your favorite dishes. Put the lime-flavored salt in a jar and store it in your pantry. Enjoy it on rim flavored drinks, popcorns, and meat seasoning.

Variations

• Dry Herbs: Add dry rosemary, thyme, or parsley to give it an herbaceous twist. Use it on steak, and you will be surprised by the flavors. 
• Citrus is not just Lime: You can make it with lemon salt if you add lemon or orange zest in place of lime zest. 
• Spice addition: Add chilli flakes and black pepper for a spicy flavor. It is perfect for lemonades or making a hot margarita. 

Storage

Store the dry citrus salt in a jar, place it at room temperature on the kitchen shelf or pantry, and use it for a month. You can also freeze the salt by securing it in an airtight vessel or freezer bag for up to 6 months. Thaw the salt to room temperature before use.
