These sound super tasty. You could add lemon rind instead for a different taste

You had me at custard!
Interesting to see orange rind in the recipe but I’m sure it will be delish as citrus flavours in desserts always taste so good.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I give my children honey, multivitamins and allergic rhinitis (which dries up the nasal drip responsible for the cough), and if coughing begins they get a 12 hour cough medicine. My 4 year old is prone to bronchiole pneumonia around this time of year, so best to dose them up than need to go to emergency!
