Homemade Orange Flavoring
Used orange peels can also add a burst of citrus flavor to your culinary creations. By making your own orange extract, you can enhance your baking and cooking with a fresh, zesty taste.
How to Make It:
- Peel several oranges, avoiding the bitter white pith as much as possible.
- Place the peels in a clean jar and cover them with vodka or another clear alcohol.
- Seal the jar and let it sit in a cool, dark place for a few weeks, shaking it occasionally.
- After a few weeks, strain the liquid into a clean bottle.
How to Use It: Use your homemade orange extract in recipes like cakes, cookies, marinades, and sauces to add a natural citrus flavor.
Bonus Tip: Orange-Scented Cleaner
For a natural cleaner that leaves your home smelling fresh, fill a jar with orange peels and white vinegar. Let it sit for a couple of weeks, then strain and pour the liquid into a spray bottle. This makes an excellent all-purpose cleaner for your kitchen and bathroom.
By repurposing used oranges, you can create effective, natural products that are both useful and eco-friendly. Give these easy DIY projects a try and enjoy the benefits of making the most out of your citrus leftovers!
