Boiling orange peels and cloves: the old custom of our grandmothers
- Ingredients:
Peels from 1-2 oranges
5-10 whole cloves
1-2 cinnamon sticks (optional, for extra warmth)
- Instructions:
Fill a small pot with water and add the orange peels, cloves, and cinnamon sticks.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Let it simmer for as long as you like, occasionally adding more water to prevent it from boiling dry.
Variations:
- You can also add other fragrant ingredients like star anise, nutmeg, or even a splash of vanilla extract for different scent combinations.
This simple ritual not only perfumes the house but also evokes nostalgia and a sense of warmth and tradition, just like in the homes of our grandmothers.
