You will have to add more water the longer it simmers. Oil can be used but can burn if it gets too hot.

To use in an oil burner I would substitute orange peel for pure orange extract or sweet orange essential oil. Also leave out cinnamon stick! Almond extract would be a nice add to this recipe! Enjoy!
