Lemons, limes, grapefruits, oranges, clementines, or any other citrus fruits can be used completely. Here are 7 ways to reuse citrus peel at home:
To add some extra flavour and zest to tea, liquor, or wintery mulled beverages, dry some citrus peels to add to the mix.
Make succade or candied citrus peel. It can be eaten as a snack, or used to garnish a dessert or cocktail.
Make a simple surface cleaner with only vinegar, water, and lemon. Take leftover peels and store them in a jar filled with vinegar.
With so much flavour in the rind of citrus fruits, it would be a shame to waste it. Use zest to add citrusy flavour to dishes.
Oranges work especially well to make essential oils. Add it to candles and diffusers, and you can put a few drops on the furniture for a citrusy smell.
Rather than buying it, freeze or dry it ahead of time to have it whenever needed.
Lemon sugar can be used in tea and fruity dessert recipes to add some bright flavour.
