Pitta increasing turmeric and honey with flavourful oranges, rich in phytonutrients, all in a yummy salad, makes for a lovely start to a winter morning.

Ginger sugar is one of the easiest things to make. Glass jars, ceramic bowls or a steel tray covered with cotton muslin cloth make for convenient sun-drying equipment.

Instead of making fresh orange zest, I like to keep this sundried orange peel candy handy. Cooking gets quicker, be it tea or cookies :) It has a long shelf life, though it finishes quickly once it gets in the kitchen.
