Overview
- The latest recipe promotes blending mandarin peels with cinnamon into a refrigerable concentrate that perfumes rooms and, according to outlets, can clean surfaces and deter insects.
- Across the guides, the basic method is to boil citrus peels with a spice or herb, then lower the heat and let aromatic steam disperse for about 10–15 minutes.
- Variants repeatedly featured include orange with anise for a sweet, spiced note, lemon with mint for a fresh scent, and orange with cinnamon for a warm citrus‑spice aroma.
- The leftover liquid is commonly suggested for reuse as a spray, a floor‑cleaning additive, or a multiuse cleaner, with instructions to strain or dilute as needed.
- Some pieces cite antibacterial, purifying, or energy‑cleansing effects of citrus and spices, though these broader claims are presented without rigorous scientific evidence.
