With a paring knife or a good peeler, peel lemons, being sure to leave as much of the white part on the lemon as possible.
Line peels on a food dehydrator tray, set dehydrator for 135 degrees and dehydrate for 1 hour until lemon peels are dried.
Add lemon peels, peppercorns, kosher salt, and garlic powder to Vitamix or another high powered blender or spice blender. Blend until it's a preferred grind.

Notes
StorageStore in an airtight container with your other spices for up to 2 years, although potency and freshness will start to deteriorate after 3-6 months. Freeze to retain the spice freshness for even longer! SubstitutionsKosher Salt - Use table salt, instead. In this case, just add the table salt after everything is blended. Peppercorns - No whole peppercorns and only ground pepper? No problem, you can substitute ground pepper 1:1. Garlic Powder - Use onion powder or make it savory with some dried basil, oregano, parsley, or cilantro. Dry in an OvenNo need to use a dehydrator if you don't have one. You can use your oven, too. Just set it to its lowest setting (if you have a dehydrate setting great!). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 2-3 hours or until peels are dried.
