Using a fine grater, zest your tangerine peels before you eat the fruit. The zest can be frozen or dried and used in baking, cooking, or to add a citrus spark to salads and marinades. It’s a zero-waste approach to maximizing flavor in your kitchen creations.
3. Natural Air Freshener: Boil a handful of fresh or dried tangerine peels in water, add a cinnamon stick or cloves, and let this mixture simmer on your stove. The aroma will naturally freshen up your home, eliminating the need for store-bought air fresheners.
4. Eco-Friendly Cleaning Agent: Tangerine peels contain natural oils that are effective in cutting through grease. Combine peels with vinegar in a jar, let it sit for a few weeks, strain, and use the infused vinegar as a powerful natural cleaner for surfaces in your kitchen and bathroom.
By rethinking how you use tangerine peels, not only are you making an eco-friendly choice, but you’re also unlocking new, delightful ways to enhance your daily life. Save those peels and discover the joy of creating something tasty, fragrant, and utterly surprising!
