Instructions
Making Honey Citron Tea from Scratch can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Citron: Wash the citron thoroughly under running water to remove any wax or impurities.
2. Slice the Citron: Cut the citron into thin slices, removing any seeds as you go. You can also chop it into small pieces if you prefer a more intense flavor.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a pot, combine the sliced citron, honey, and water. Stir gently to mix.
4. Simmer: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
5. Cook: Let the mixture simmer for about 30-45 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Stir occasionally.
6. Check Consistency: If you prefer a thicker tea, simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
7. Strain (Optional): If you want a smoother tea, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the citron solids.
8. Cool: Let the tea cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
These steps will guide you in effortlessly creating this incredible tea.
