Homemade Vitamin C

I like to keep my house as 'chemical' & 'nasty' free as possible, and that includes my food, too. I spend many hours in the kitchen recreating different snacks and foods, trying to make them as healthy as possible. Recently, I have began adding new recipes to my collection, and making my own medications and supplements.

My first was Vitamin C powder (and capsules). I am shocked at how easy it is, and how great they make me feel!

Method

• Take the peel from any organic Lemons, Oranges or Limes you have. Finely chop the peel into thin strips and lay out on a tray or plate. Leave the peel to dry in a warm place for a few days or until crunchy.

• Once the peel is dry, put it into a blender/grinder/mortar & pestle and process until it becomes a fine powder.

You can use this powder to add to juices and smoothies. Add 1 heaped teaspoon for an extra citrus boost, (and vitamin c hit, of course), or;

You can use a capsule maker to press into capsules (Size 00 capsules x 4)

As simple as that!!
