Most people are used to buying various air fresheners in the store. But they are full of chemicals! And I think many will agree with me that the natural option is better.
This is exactly what I want to tell you about, which I saw in Turkey from the owner of a boarding house. To prepare a homemade and natural air freshener, you only need three ingredients:
- Mandarin peels;
- Coffee beans;
- A clean or new sock to use as a bag.
As you can see, there is nothing supernatural, you can start preparing the fragrant thing.
So, the process:
Before peeling the tangerines, wash them and then peel them. Remove the stalk.
The peeled rind needs to be dried well, you can leave it at room temperature. The rind should become dry and break. I usually dry quite a lot of rind.
Dry crusts need to be crushed. This can be done simply by hand, by crushing them.
You can also use the peel in tea. Then it turns out very aromatic. Just add the peel to black large-leaf tea and brew it. Then the drink will have an awesome tangerine taste. It is not only tasty, but also very healthy, because the peel is full of vitamins.
Most of the crusts need to be ground into powder by grinding them in a coffee grinder. To do this, you first need to break them and then put them in the grinder.
I put it in small jars for baby food. Mandarin powder can be used for drinks, in baking and even with meat. Vanillin, which is usually added to baking, is not even close to the powder. Try it, because it is very aromatic. It is stored for a very long time, the main thing is to close the jar tightly with a lid.
If you have moths, place whole tangerine peels on the shelves in your cupboard. The moths will simply disappear.
And dried peels will give the things in the closet a citrus aroma. They will smell very delicious!
You can mix the peel with coffee, put it in a sock and put it in the closet. The aroma is incredible!
These are some ways to use tangerine peels!
