Ingredients
6
inches
orange peel
(½ an orange)
1
cup
water
1
cup
sugar
Instructions
Heat a small pot over medium high heat.
Peel the orange with a vegetable peeler, avoiding most of the with pith under the orange skin.
Combine the orange peel, sugar, and water in the pot.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the orange peel sit in the syrup to infuse, at least one hour.
Strain the peel out of the syrup if desired using a fine mesh strainer. Store the syrup in a container. Keep the syrup refrigerated up to one month.
Notes
It is best to avoid as much of the white pith as possible to avoid adding some bitterness to the syrup.
