- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tsp orange extract, or can use vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon orange zest

When do you add the orange extract and zest?
Stacey says
Hi Joan, thanks for letting me know about the error. It is in step #5.
Wendy says
Do I beat the egg whites or but them in just the way they are?
Stacey says
No, you don't need to beat the egg whites. Just mix into the nuts and seeds to coat.
