Orange, lemon, and mandarin peel powder. A jar of Sicilian fragrance to keep for special occasions like Christmas, sweets or savory dishes. Naturally, I wasn’t aware of it. I was inspired by a recipe I saw on the web, I never thought of making orange peel powder. Having organic oranges, it felt like a waste to throw away such goodness! I made candied peels, the marmalade, and now also the orange powder. I believe I have a magic jar at home, just open it, and the strong scent of citrus fills the air. Here all the instructions with photos and explanations. You can find many other recipes on my blog.

- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
- 3 1/2 oz orange peel
- 1 3/4 oz lemon peel
- 1 3/4 oz mandarin peel
Tools
- Blender
- Baking Tray
- Parchment Paper
Preparation
The first and most important thing is to peel the oranges, making sure not to leave the white part. It’s too bitter.
As you see, I have arranged the orange peels on the baking tray with parchment paper. Let them dry for 2 hours in the oven at 175°F.
Here they are ready.
Use a mixer to grind the orange peels into powder. Since I have a homogenizer, I used that.
Ready! Orange peel powder.
I deliberately did not grind the dried orange peels further, but you can do so if you prefer.

Can I add other types of peels along with orange peels?
Yes, they will definitely go well together, and the flavor will be intense whether they are orange, lemon, or mandarin peels.
