step 1.A.- Grate the orange to get as much zest as you can. This will help with color, and aroma of the final product.

step 1.B.-Juice it!!! squeeze the orange or oranges into the bowl with all the zest

side note- amount of oranges really just depends on how much scent you like, but don't over do it on the juice part. For a 16 oz. container i used 2 oranges

Step 2.A- Chop or muddle your mint to as small as you are able ( this releases the mint smell ) Add this to the zest and juice

Step 2.B.- pour sugar into our little mixture. Sounds easy enough

Step 2.C.- Stir Stir Stir

Side note- It should have a medium viscosity, adding a bit more sugar can thicken it up if needed, and juice to thin it. :)

Time for the Oil
