Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to thoroughly remove any pesticides or impurities that might be on the tangerine peels. Place the tangerines in a large bowl, and generously add vinegar and coarse salt. Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes to loosen any dirt, then gently scrub them under running water. The key is to wash them softly to avoid damaging the peel.
Step 2
After washing the tangerines clean, pat them dry and then peel them. You can enjoy the tangerine segments separately or use them in other dishes; we’ll only be using the peels for the tea. Thinly julienne the tangerine peels. This helps reduce any bitterness and allows the fragrant aroma to infuse beautifully into the tea.
Step 3
Now it’s time to brew the tangerine tea. Pour an adequate amount of water into a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once the water is at a rolling boil, add all the julienned tangerine peels. As it simmers, the fragrant scent of tangerines will fill your home. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes to complete your delicious tangerine tea.
