Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of Orange peels from about 2-3 oranges
  • 1 tablespoon of Whole cloves
  • 4 cups of Water

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your orange peels. If you’re using fresh oranges, give them a good wash first. Peel the oranges, making sure to avoid too much of the white pith.
  2. In a pot, combine the orange peels, cloves, and water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. This should only take a few minutes.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. The longer you let it simmer, the stronger the aroma will be. Aim for about 30 to 45 minutes, adding more water if necessary.
  5. When the aroma fills your space, you know it’s done! Remove it from the heat and enjoy the delightful scent!
