To me, lemon zest is the best part of the lemon. Wash and dry your lemon. Take a grater and rub it back and forth across the skin of the lemon. The zest is bacially the peel being grated away from the lemon. You will smell the sweetness. Turn the lemon frequently in order to ensure you are getting the zest and not just the white stuff under the peel. If you are adding the zest to your recipe, this is what gives it the true lemon flavor. Enjoy!!!

to zest a lemon you take the part of your grater that has the very small holes and you run the rind off of the lemon on all sides, basically the recipe is asking for the lemon rind shreded into very fine peices

use a fine cheese grater or a tool called a plane, used for grating. just remove the yellow part of the lemon. the white called the pith is bitter.

Use a small knife to take the yellow part of the lemon rind off, but don't scrape so hard that the white part comes off too, because it is very bitter.

Zest is the outer peel, not the pith, just scrape it off, knife!
