Don’t Toss Tangerine Peels! Put Them on Your Windowsills Instead

1. Compost Booster
   • Toss leftover peels into your compost bin to add nutrients and speed up decomposition.
2. Homemade Candied Peels
   • Simmer tangerine peels in sugar syrup, then dry them for a sweet, tangy treat.
3. Fire Starters
   • Dip dried tangerine peels in melted wax to create eco-friendly fire starters for your fireplace or grill.

Tips for Success

• Dry Peels Properly: Ensure peels are fully dried before using them for decor or storage to prevent mold.
• Avoid Mold Growth: If using fresh peels, replace them every 2–3 days to keep your space clean and fragrant.
• Experiment with Placement: Try placing peels in other areas of your home, like entryways, closets, or bathrooms, for added freshness.
• Combine with Other Scents: Pair tangerine peels with complementary scents like vanilla, cinnamon, or eucalyptus for a layered aroma.
