Dried lime (dehydrated)
Delicious and dried lime slices, perfect for a good cocktail.The idea of using dehydrated lime instead of fresh lime slices is that you get a sweeter and more intense lime flavor, as a dried lime consists of up to 80% less water than a fresh lime.
Equipment
- Dehydrator (option 1)
- Oven (option 2)
- Baking Tray In case of oven use
- Baking Paper In case of oven use
Ingredients
- 2 pcs. Lime
Instructions
- Start by turning on your dehydrator or oven at 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) fan.
- Cut your limes into uniform and thin slices. It is much easier if you have a mandoline slicer.
- Place them in your dehydrator or on a baking paper-lined baking tray in the oven.
- They should be dehydrated from 10-12 hours, depending on the thickness. Turn them halfway through if using the oven.
- When they are completely dry, take them out gradually, especially if you have some that are cut thinner than others.
- Place them on a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- Then place them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
