Gifting a Holiday Simmer Pot

If you're making this as a gift for someone, I highly recommend dehydrating the orange slices before packaging them up. You can do this by slicing an orange into thin rounds and roasting them on a sheet pan at 200°F for 2-6 hours. Once cooled, you can package them with the other ingredients into a cellphone bag or mason jar, include a little instructions tag, and tie with a festive ribbon!
