Do you remember those comforting smells that wafted through our grandmothers’ kitchens, especially when the days got shorter? They had the art of transforming a moment of well-being into nothing, without complicated speeches or excessive promises. Among their favorite little rituals was this orange and clove infusion, simple, fragrant, almost magical, prepared with orange peels and a few cloves. A humble drink in appearance, but full of common sense, that we would be wrong to forget today as it fits perfectly into our current quest for naturalness and softness on a daily basis.
Why orange peel deserves a second life
We often have the reflex to throw away the peel of the orange without thinking about it, and yet… What a mistake! The rind concentrates a large part of the interesting compounds of the fruit. It is naturally rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, antioxidants that help preserve the body’s balance in the face of the small stresses of everyday life. It is also the one that contains those pleasant aromatic oils, responsible for this fresh and sunny scent that instantly evokes the South and winter snacks. Used in infusion, orange peel becomes a precious ally for those who like to take care of themselves while limiting food waste.
Cloves, these little spices with a strong character
Cloves, on the other hand, are anything but ordinary. Behind their small size are powerful aromas and a long tradition of use in homes. They are appreciated for their digestive properties and their richness in antioxidant compounds, but also for the spicy heat they bring instantly to a drink. Added to an infusion, they give relief, while creating a very pleasant feeling of comfort after a meal or during a slightly chilly evening.
