Wash thoroughly: Wash the skins thoroughly to remove any dirt and any pesticides.
Drying: Spread the peels out on baking paper and leave to dry in a warm, airy place for 3-5 days. You can also speed up the process by drying them in the oven at 50-60°C for about 3 hours, until completely dry and brittle.
Grind: Grind the dry peels in a coffee grinder or high-powered blender until you get a fine powder.
Storage: Sift the powder through a fine sieve, place in an airtight container and store in a dark, dry place for up to 6 months.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Culinary Use: Add 1/2 teaspoon of powder to smoothies, tea or yogurt for an antioxidant boost.
For skin care: Mix the powder with yogurt or honey to create a natural cleansing mask.
Storage: Store the powder in a cool, dry place away from light. Preferably in a dark glass jar.
Variations:
Dried peel tea: Pour hot water over a teaspoon of dried (unground) peel and steep for 10 minutes. It aids digestion and has antibacterial properties.
Mouthwash: Pomegranate peel has antibacterial properties – its decoction can be used as a natural mouthwash supporting oral hygiene.
Exfoliation: Mix the powder with a pinch of sugar and olive oil – you will get a natural exfoliation for the body or face.
