Honey Citron Tea From Scratch Food

HONEY CITRON TEA FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Clean and slice citron fruit. Discard the seeds.Since we're using the entire fruit including the peel, make sure it's thoroughly cleaned. I like to clean it by spraying it with vinegar then scrubbing it clean under running water. Cut citron in half, then in thin slices.
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl.In a bowl, mix together the sliced yuzu, sugar, and honey until well combined. The honey and sugar will break down the yuzu peel, making it soft.
• Stir 1 tablespoon of citron tea in a cup of hot water.Citron fruit peel can be eaten.

KOREAN HONEY CITRUS TEA (RAW VERSION)

Steps:

• Set a bowl on top of your kitchen scale, and adjust the weight to zero.
• Peel the citrus fruit, and remove seeds, membrane, and as much of the white pith as you can. With pomelo, there's a thick layer of pith that can be shaved off with a knife.
• On a cutting board that doesn't taste like onion or garlic, thinly slice both fruit and rind, and transfer to bowl. Catch and include as much of the juice as you can. When the scale reaches 1 lb, you have enough.
• Pour in sugar until the scale reads 1 1/2 lbs. Toss with a spoon and leave for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, pour in honey until the scale read 2 lbs.
• Transfer mixture to glass jars with lids. If necessary, add a bit more honey until the fruit solids are covered with liquid.
• Place jars in the refrigerator. According to your measure of patience, leave it in the refrigerator 1-4 weeks before using. (I personally only lasted 24 hours, but it's supposed to improve with age.).
• To use: Place one or two generous spoonfuls of fruit and honey mixture in a mug. Add boiling water. Drink up! You can eat the fruit and peel if you like.
