One day, I was surprised to learn my mother-in-law never throws away mandarin peels. 🧡 Her pastries always smelled divine, so I asked for her secret. With a smile, she revealed it – ground mandarin peels! She dries and grinds them to add a citrusy twist to pastries and teas. Want to soften the bitterness? Boil the peel for a few minutes. You can even make marmalade or add it to tea for an extra fragrant treat! 🍊☕
One day, I discovered a surprising secret hidden in my mother-in-law’s kitchen. Her pastries always had a unique aroma and taste, unlike anything I’d experienced before. Curious, I asked her what made them so special. With a warm smile, she leaned in and revealed, «Mandarin peels.» I was intrigued and wanted to know more.
She explained that instead of throwing the peels away, she dries them and grinds them into a fine powder. This fragrant powder becomes her secret ingredient, adding a burst of citrusy flavor to pastries and teas.
To reduce the peel’s natural bitterness, she briefly boils them in water before drying. This simple trick transforms what many consider waste into a magical culinary ingredient.
If you want to experiment, try adding a teaspoon of ground mandarin peel to your favorite cookie or cake batter.
For tea lovers, a small piece of dried peel adds a refreshing twist to your brew. You can even make homemade marmalade using the peels for a sweet and tangy treat.
🍊 Don’t let those peels go to waste—turn them into something delightful!
