Don’t Throw Away Orange Peels. Combine With Ginger — It’s Really Powerful, Economical, and Practical

by

Ingredients

  • Peels from 2 large oranges (preferably organic, thoroughly washed)
  • 1 large piece fresh ginger (about 3–4 inches), sliced thinly
  • 4 cups water
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for extra freshness)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the orange peels well to remove any residue.
  2. Slice the peels into thin strips.
  3. In a pot, combine the orange peels, sliced ginger, and water.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20–30 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and strain the liquid into a teapot or jar.
  7. Stir in honey and lemon juice if using.
  8. Serve warm as a tea or let it cool and refrigerate — it’s delicious cold too!

Tip: This simple drink is refreshing and may help with digestion and immunity. The leftover boiled peels and ginger can also be dried and reused in potpourri or composted.

Would you like me to format it for a card, blog post, or video script?
