• Boil orange peel strips in water for 45 minutes in a non-reactive pot.

• Drain and boil in simple syrup for another 30 minutes in a non-reactive pot.

• Drain reserving the syrup to add to tea or other items as its delicious!

• Toss a few strips at a time in sugar and lay out on parchment or wax paper for a few hours.
