The Miracle Tea You’ve Never Heard Of: Orange Peel Tea

Orange Peel Tea Recipe

Ingredients:

• Peel from 1 organic orange (ensure it’s organic to avoid pesticides)
• 2 cups of water
• 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• A few fresh mint leaves (optional, for added flavor)
• A small piece of fresh ginger (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Orange Peel:
   • Wash the orange thoroughly.
   • Peel the orange, making sure to remove only the outer orange layer and avoid the bitter white pith.
   • Cut the orange peel into small strips.
2. Boil the Water:
   • In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
3. Add the Ingredients:
   • Once the water is boiling, add the orange peel strips.
   • If using, add the fresh ginger piece at this point.
4. Simmer:
   • Reduce the heat and let the water simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the orange peel and ginger to release their flavors and beneficial properties into the water.
5. Strain the Tea:
   • After simmering, remove the pot from heat.
   • Use a strainer to pour the tea into a cup, separating the liquid from the orange peel and ginger.
6. Sweeten and Flavor:
   • If desired, add honey or maple syrup to taste.
   • You can also add fresh mint leaves for an extra refreshing flavor.
7. Serve:
   • Enjoy your warm cup of Orange Peel Tea. You can also let it cool and serve it over ice for a refreshing cold version.
