About this dish

Soaking the dried tangerine peel for two minutes in the very water that will become the tea tames its harshness without throwing any of that water away.

Bitter-bright citrus and ginger heat arrive together in the amber cup, and honey and rice syrup sweeten it in two registers, one clean and floral, the other thick and malty.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash 12g of dried tangerine peel under running water and soak it in 850ml of fresh water for 2 minutes to effectively remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Peel and thinly slice 20g of fresh ginger, then halve 18g of jujubes and remove the pits to ensure the flavors extract deeply into the liquid.

  3. 3

    Combine 850ml of water, prepared tangerine peel, sliced ginger, and halved jujubes in a large pot and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

  4. 4

    Reduce the heat to low once boiling and simmer gently for 12 minutes until the liquid turns a rich amber color and the aroma stabilizes.

  5. 5

    Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve, then stir in 24g of honey, 16g of rice syrup, and 1g of salt until fully dissolved.

  6. 6

    Pour the finished tea into a warm cup to serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator to enjoy as a refreshing iced tea later.

Tips

If peels are thick, simmer 2-3 minutes longer for deeper aroma.
If ginger tastes too strong, dilute with a little hot water at the end.
