Method for making dried tangerine peel

Method 1

1. When making dried tangerine peel, choose those oranges that are completely ripe. Orange peel can't be blue. I will soak it in light salt water for half an hour, then brush all the fruit wax on its surface with a toothbrush and rinse it with water several times.

2. After the water on the surface of the orange is dried, the orange peel should be removed and the white part inside should be placed in a ventilated and sunny place to dry. Put the dried orange peel into a steamer and steam for ten minutes. After steaming, take out the orange peel and put it in the sun to dry.

3. In the same way, steam the orange peel twice again, and then dry it separately after steaming. The orange peel finally changed color. After drying in the sun for the last time, let it ferment slowly in a sealed environment for at least 12 months, and let the dried tangerine peel ferment naturally, which has its due medicinal value.

Method 2

There is also a relatively simple way to make dried tangerine peel. Fresh tangerine peel can be picked and dried, and then placed in a glass jar that can be sealed and kept sealed for 60 to 150 days. Then take out the orange peel inside and humidify it with wet air with humidity of 80% to soften the orange peel. They are softened, dried in the sun, and then resealed. A year later, take out homemade dried tangerine peel.
