Citrus sinensis · Dried Sweet Orange Peel Pieces · Citrus Botanical Pantry
Bright, fragrant and naturally cheerful, dried Sweet Orange Peel brings sunlit citrus aroma to botanical blends, home baking and warming spice preparations.
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is prized for its juicy fruit and aromatic rind. Once dried, the peel retains a distinctive citrus scent, with a lightly bitter edge that pairs beautifully with warming spices and florals.
Our Sweet Orange Peel Pieces are dried and cut for convenient use in infusions, aromatic syrups, spice mixtures and home fragrance simmer pots.
At Flowers from my Meadow, we keep it pure and uncomplicated: a single dried citrus botanical for your pantry.
How to Prepare
For citrus herbal tea: Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried peel to 250ml freshly boiled water, cover and steep for 8–10 minutes. Strain before serving.
For culinary preparations: Add a few pieces to spiced syrups, stewed fruit, baked recipes or herb blends. Remove larger peel pieces as desired.
