Ingredients

makes about 1 cup

　　1 orange, scrubbed

　　1 cup simple syrup

　　1/2 cup sugar

　　

Step 1

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest and part of the white pith from the fruit in strips. Cut the peel into 1/8-inch-wide strips. Place in a nonreactive saucepan and cover with the simple syrup. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Drain and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toss with the sugar and leave out uncovered overnight to let dry.

　　

Step 2

Place in an airtight jar with half of the sugar. Reserve the remaining citrus oil–infused sugar in a separate jar for future use as a garnish or as flavored sugar.
