Unfortunately, the citrus ingredients mentioned above are often tough to find in the United States and their quality is often suspect. Here, then, is an easy and versatile substitute, a tangy blend that works on everything from egg dishes to fresh fruit to rice pudding. And because it’s mostly citrus, you can also use it to add character to other spice blends.
