How to Use Lemon Juice Powder

I use a lot of lemons, but I don’t always have them handy.  When the mood strikes at 8 Pm to whip up a batch of lemon cookies and not a fresh lemon to be found in the house, in steps lemon juice powder.  The powder is a shelf-stable product and should be in every lemon lover's pantry.

Where can I buy lemon powder?

I purchase mine from King Arthur Flour. The link is not an affiliate link, I just really love King Arthur products.

What to do with lemon powder?

You can substitute the powder in any recipe that calls for lemon juice, lemon zest, or lemon extract.

• Add to plain yogurt and dill for lemony yogurt dip for vegetables
• Make your own lemon pepper spice
• It’s great sprinkled on roasted vegetables
• If you drink tea, add a dash to add a lemony flavor
• Mix with olive oil and rub on fish
• Make lemonade

Substitution Equivalents in Recipes

These are estimates and the amounts I've used with good results.

1 teaspoon of powder for 2 tablespoons of juice. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon powder into 2 tablespoons of water and stir to dissolve the powder.

1 teaspoon of powder for 2 teaspoons of lemon extract. Add 1 teaspoon of powder to water and stir to dissolve.

1 teaspoon of powder for 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

How to make a simple Lemon Glaze

• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice powder
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (also called confectioners sugar)
• 3 teaspoons water, add gradually to avoid thinning to much

In a small bowl whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.
