If a recipe calls for the zest of a citrus fruit, you can use the corresponding Essential Oil instead. Typically you will use one drop of oil to one tsp of citrus zest. Keep in mind that the Essential Oil is extracted from the rind so you won't typically substitute for a citrus juice.
Citrus oils include BERGAMOT, GRAPEFRUIT, LEMON, LIME, TANGERINE, and WILD ORANGE.
LIME Essential Oil supports healthy immune function, positively affects mood with stimulating and refreshing properties, and is often used as an internal cleanser.
