Create sophisticated dried citrus wheels at home for your bar or decorations. These simple garnishes can last for a year in drinks and up to 5 years as decorations when fully dehydrated, perfect for impressing friends and guests.
Thinly slice 1-2 limes and lemons. Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking rack (this is important to prevent sticking). Bake citrus wheels at 200 F for 2 hours. Flip each citrus wheel and place back in the oven for another hour. Let cool completely before storing in an airtight container or plastic bag.
Tip: if you’re using bigger citrus like grapefruit or oranges, expect to cook the wheels about 4-6 hours total.
