Orange peel comes from the bright skin of sweet and bitter oranges, grown in sunny regions such as Spain, Florida, Brazil and the Mediterranean. Dried peel adds a warm, sweet citrus aroma with a hint of pleasant bitterness and a sunny, zesty finish.

Orange and spice blends are a holiday favorite, and they are wonderful with a splash of milk.
