Use up Oranges: Ideas for Using up Leftovers

Oranges can be used in many ways – whether as a warming tea, as a salad accompaniment rich in vitamins, or as a natural cleaning agent for cleaning. With the various possible uses, leftover oranges can also be processed wonderfully.

Use oranges: warming as tea, delicious as jam

Oranges are not only rich in vitamin C and therefore healthy, but also very tasty. The sweet and sour aroma can be wonderfully combined with different foods. This means that leftover oranges do not have to end up in the garbage, but can be processed into small and large delicacies.

• If you have an orange left over, you can add it to a fruit salad or muesli – as an extra vitamin C boost.
• Orange also tastes delicious in a warm, homemade porridge.
• For lunch or dinner, the orange is served as a side salad – for example, as a chicken chicory salad with pieces of orange and walnuts.
• In winter, a warming orange-ginger tea tastes good. To do this, cut the ginger into small pieces and squeeze out the remainder of the orange. Pour boiling water over both and add fresh mint and a teaspoon of honey.
• If you want to enjoy your toast the British way for breakfast, you can make yourself an orange marmalade.
• Very tasty and refreshing.
• Orange peel is also easy to make yourself. The popular baking ingredient is mainly used in classic
• Christmas baked goods.

For the natural cleaning devil: cleaning with orange vinegar

Oranges are not only delicious in the kitchen but can also be used in the home and on the skin.

• Dried orange slices are a popular decoration in many homes. Make the slices yourself – from the leftovers of your citrus fruit. Cut the unpeeled orange into slices three to four millimeters thick and place them on a grid. You can let the panes dry on the heater for 14 days. If you need it faster, put the orange slices in the oven at a low temperature.
• Declare war on dirt with orange vinegar cleaner. The cleaner reliably removes dirt and limescale. To do this, put the zest of an orange and 350 milliliters of vinegar in a screw-top jar. Allow the mixture to steep for two to three weeks before using diluted or undiluted.
• Oranges are good for the skin — especially when exfoliated. To do this, mix 250 grams of sugar with the zest of an untreated orange and the juice of half an orange. A tablespoon of honey and two tablespoons of warmed coconut oil are also added. The scrub can be applied to wet skin once or twice a week and massaged in gently. Then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
