📝 Preparation Steps
1
Orange Syrup

Peel 2 oranges with a vegetable peeler; reserve peels. Juice oranges into a liquid measuring cup to measure ½ cup. Transfer juice to a blender and add ½ cup sugar. Blend until sugar dissolves, about ⏱️ 20 seconds—if you taste it, it should not be gritty.

Return syrup to liquid measuring cup. Express oil from reserved peels into cup and stir to combine. Pour into a resealable jar. Seal and chill until ready to use. Do ahead: Orange syrup can be made 6 days ahead. Keep chilled. Shake well before using.
