Tantalising Citrus

Blood Oranges are quite rare in New Zealand, so I was thrilled at the start of this year, when I heard that NZ citrus growers, Bay Tropics, would be releasing a limited range in August! I pencilled it in, making sure I was ready to snap them up when they were ready and happily, a few weeks ago a beautiful crate of these gorgeous oranges arrived on my front doorstep! 

I couldn’t resist ordering a few other tried and true varieties from Twisted Citrus as well, so it’s been all things orange recently in our household! Although pure, freshly juiced oranges really can’t be beaten, I have also enjoyed pairing these immune boosting delights up with the Harney & Sons Blood Orange Tea blend + adding into Scapegrace gin cocktails for something a little more decadent.

Do you have a favourite way to enjoy oranges?
