Use your vegetable peeler (or better yet, the small-peel slot on a quality zester) to cut a citrus peel into a thin ¼-inch-wide spiral, rotating the utensil around the peel. Once you’ve gone two turns or so around the fruit, taper off the spiral to complete the twist. Continue doing this with the rest of the peel. If desired, curl the end around a straw or pencil and refrigerate or briefly freeze until needed.
