📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash the oranges and pat them dry with a clean towel. See notes for using dried orange peels.
2
Use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to peel the oranges, aiming to get only the orange part of the peel and minimizing the white pith, which can be bitter.
3
Bring the 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a pot.
