Since I know orange peel is good for you, I cut up the orange and put it in with the peel. I also added about a cup of dates. It turned out yummy!!

Are the oranges supposed to be peeled?

Make this-you won't regret it! I suggest a little extra fresh ginger, and it really does taste better on day 2!
