Dry the Orange Peels:
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible, as it can add bitterness.
Cut the peels into small pieces or strips.
Allow the peels to dry, either in the sun for a few days or in an oven set to the lowest possible temperature. Check frequently to ensure they do not burn.
Mix With Salt:
Once the orange peels are completely dry, mix them with coarse salt. The ratio can be adjusted based on personal preference or the intended use.
Storage:
Store the mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maximize its shelf life and effectiveness.
This simple DIY project not only utilizes kitchen scraps that might otherwise be wasted but also provides a chemical-free alternative to various household products. Whether you’re looking to freshen up your space naturally, tackle cleaning projects without harsh chemicals, or keep pesky insects at bay, salted orange peels are a handy and effective solution to keep in mind.
Enjoy!
