HELPFUL HINTS

If you can't find orange peel powder, you can easily make it yourself! Start by peeling an orange. Cut the peel into smaller chunks and leave on a plate to air-dry for 24 hours or until completely dry. Grind the dried orange peel into a powder in a coffee grinder. Store in a tightly sealed container.
