mmm orange! some ground coriander seed is a good addition with orange :)
I've used a few different types of orange and i so far find the valencia orange has the best tasting zest

Good to know. I used the curacao orange peel from the homebrew company. It was dried in a bag. Had a little nibble. Didn't really think they had much zing. Will try Valencia next time.
