Orange peels bring a bright, citrus flavor, which can either be tart or bitter depending on the variety of oranges. Use orange peel to add a fresh orange depth to beverages, sauces and all your baking needs when orange zest is required. Try using in deserts such as cranberry-orange scones, cheesecake and cookies. Orange peel can also be enjoyed as a tea that can be made by boiling the peels in water.
