orange peel
Description
Whether you use your discards to whip up a syrup, a cordial or something else, don’t get too caught up in precise measurements.
Directions
To capture the citrusy goodness, place your collected peels in a bowl, dust them with sugar and let them sit on the countertop, covered, for a day or so.
The sugar will extract citrus oil from the peels, resulting in a bracingly bright syrup ideal for a Collins or gimlet.
Fold a bit of citrus juice (if you have it; water, if you don’t) into the mixture to incorporate the sugar, then cut it with vodka to give it a longer shelf life in the fridge.
