  1. Allow dried peels to cool completely
  2. Break larger pieces into smaller chunks
  3. Fill your grinding device no more than halfway

  5. Continue until you achieve a fine powder consistency

Pro Tip: If using a blender or food processor, pause occasionally and shake the container to ensure even grinding.
