Why does my lemon rice taste bitter?

[doebadie]

Hi folks! I've tried making lemon rice a couple of times, but it always turns out bitter. What am I doing wrong? Any tips or tricks to avoid that bitter taste? I'd love some help from the experts here!

Ahh, bitter lemon rice struggle—been there! Maybe you’re overcooking the lemon juice or using too much zest? Keep it light, fam!

I think the bitterness might be from the lemon zest! If you’re using too much or getting the white pith, it can make the whole dish taste off. Try just the outer yellow part next time!
