A “Black Lemon” is an earthy, smoky spice commonly used in Middle Eastern cooking, and contrary to what the name suggests, it’s actually a dehydrated lime, but the name of the spice was a mistranslation from Arabic to English ages ago. Although there is no actual “black lemon” in this bitter, the bright and fresh lemon flavor has rich floral notes and deep earthy spices reminiscent of the “black lemon”, hence the name.
