At the risk of seeming obsessive, I use only the juice in the martinis,
but both juice and zest in the rooibos tea.
(I could of course substitute blood orange zest instead of lemon zest in
a limnocello recipe and come up with something probably drinkable.
There's another angle.)
I calculate I will need to freeze about 40 oranges to get me through
the off-season.
