Boiling orange peels with cloves: A Traditional Practice from Our Grandmothers

Prepare the Orange Peels: Peel the oranges, making sure to remove as much of the white pith as possible, as it can be bitter. Cut the peels into smaller strips to help release the oils when boiled.
Add Water: Place the orange peels and cloves into a saucepan and cover with water.
Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for about 20-30 minutes. The water will gradually take on a fragrant aroma as the peels and cloves release their natural oils.
Enjoy: Once you’re satisfied with the fragrance, remove the pot from the heat. You can either leave it simmering on the stove to continue filling the room with scent or strain out the solids and use the liquid as a natural air freshener.
