I packed my things and found a small bottle of perfume, which I gave when I went to the fragrance lecture last year. I am a careless person. I don't need these things, but I don't know the knowledge behind it is quite novel. After listening to the literacy lecture, I learned that the fragrance is divided into first fragrance, middle fragrance and tail fragrance. The top fragrance is the fastest volatile, and it is generally the refreshing scent of citrus substances. For example, the earliest perfume, which is (and turned out to be) the "4711" specially created for men, is this citrus-scented perfume.
In fact, baking is the same. Everyone likes lemon zest and citrus zest. Drinking tea also likes grapefruit zest tea. In fact, all kinds of oranges, oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and citrus are close relatives of hybrids. They are similar, and they all have a special fragrance.
I prefer the taste of oranges. Lemons are a little bit punchy, and grapefruits are too mild. Oranges made from oranges and grapefruits are the most suitable for appetite. Generally, I don’t want to throw away orange peels and make orange peel tea or candied orange peel. What, toast or pound cake with a little bit, it's definitely the finishing touch~
It seems that the human stomach also likes the golden mean.

Ingredients

Candied Orange Peel

1. Use a knife to scrape off the white material inside the orange peel. Be sure to clean it, you can see the small dots on the surface of a basketball.

2. Then rub the surface with salt and baking soda

3. Then put a little baking soda in warm water and soak for a few minutes

4. Cut the soaked orange zest into thin strips

5. Then boil the orange zest in water until it's translucent

6. Finally, add granulated sugar in a ratio of one to one wet weight, and stir evenly after two days of pickling, until the water from the pickled orange peel is absorbed again!

Tips:
Why not choose the method of boiling sugar water——because there will be a lot of water after pickling, it will become very chewy after being reabsorbed by the orange peel. If it is not hardened by lime, it will be soft and boiled. Yes, it is easy to break.
