You have a much less hospitable environment for evil mold spores! I bet it would work a lot better in California. You have a much less hospitable environment for evil mold spores!

I don't ever put any type of sweetener in anything myself but I would bet that orange zest infused sugar is a pretty fabulous thing. Thank you for the suggestion! That is a really good idea.

All you would have to do would be to peel the zest off of the oranges using a paring knife or a peeler and placing the large slices into your sugar container. If you are worried about excess moisture in your sugar, you can place a slice of bread (wonderbread works really well-it won't mold on you) on top of the sugar in a tightly sealed container. If you let the sugar sit for a few days it will be delicious and orange in flavor. I would not recommend just zesting the orange and mixing it with the sugar because then you will either have to sift the zest out later or live with orange peels floating around in your tea. Hope that helps! If you put sugar in your tea, may I suggest that you flavor your sugar rather than your tea?
