INGREDIENTS

• 4-6 cups water, more as needed, depending on the size of your pot
• 1 sliced navel orange (carefully cut ¼ inch thick)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine: Fill a medium-to-large pot or slow cooker with 4–6 cups of water.

2. Prepare Fruit: Cut fruit into even slices

3. Boil & Simmer: Bring the water to a boil, then immediately reduce to the lowest heat setting to maintain a gentle simmer.

4. Maintain: Check the water level every 60–90 minutes; add more hot water as it evaporates to prevent the ingredients from burning.
