Can the spice sack be reused for a second batch when done? I’m assuming it will still have some kick to it?
You would totally have to dry it out first. I have never tried drying it out before, so I would suggest untying the cheese cloth and spreading the spices out to dry. I’m not sure if the orange peel would make it, but you would try.
