Notes

STORAGE: Store any leftover seasoning in an airtight jar or container and keep in cool, dry place for up to 6 months (for best taste) or at most---up to 2 years. It will lose it's potency as time goes on.
LEMONY TASTE: If you'd prefer more of a bold lemon flavor, reduce the black pepper amount to just 1 Tbsp.
GROUND BLEND: If you're not able to zest the lemon as fine as possible, you can always add your blend to a spice grinder for a better blend.
BIGGER BATCH: This recipe makes for about 4 servings worth of this seasoning blend. To make a larger batch, feel free to double or triple the ingredients.
