Flower of salt and flavored sugar

A nice idea to garnish the gourmet baskets you will offer to your loved ones this year. Flavored salt and sugar can be used in everyday cooking, to enhance the taste of dishes, to dress a salad, to flavor coffee or hot chocolate, or to sweeten a sweet crepe.

For Le Parfait jars, 125g terrine range, we fill them with fleur de sel or sugar, then we add the different ingredients and mix well. Attention, for the zest of citrus fruits, they must be dried for a better conservation of salt and sugar. For that, it is enough to let them dry in the air during 2 days or in 70°C during 1 hour.
