Honey Citron Tea From Scratch: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 38 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups fresh citron (or yuzu), sliced thinly
– 1 cup honey (adjust as per taste)
– 4 cups water
– 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
– A pinch of salt (optional)


Instructions

Creating Honey Citron Tea from scratch can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Citron: Wash the citron thoroughly. Slice it thinly, removing any seeds you encounter.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large pot, mix the sliced citron and honey. Stir well to ensure the honey coats the citron.
3. Let It Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes. This process helps the flavors meld together.
4. Add Water: After the resting period, add the 4 cups of water to the pot.
5. Heat the Mixture: Place the pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the honey completely dissolves.
6. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-45 minutes. This allows the flavors to deepen.
7. Strain the Tea: After simmering, strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solid pieces of citron.
8. Adjust Flavor: Taste the tea. You can add lemon juice for additional tartness or adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired.
9. Cool Down: Let the tea cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Store: If you have leftovers, store the tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

These steps will guide you in creating this wonderful tea effortlessly!
