Boiled Lemon Peel Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
Peels from 2–3 organic lemons
3–4 cups of water
(Optional) 1–2 tsp raw honey
(Optional) 1 small cinnamon stick or a few slices of ginger
Instructions:
Wash the lemons thoroughly.
Use organic lemons if possible to avoid pesticides.
You can use lemon peels left over from juicing or eating the fruit.
Peel the lemons.
Use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove just the yellow outer skin (avoid the bitter white pith if possible).
Boil the peels.
Add the lemon peels to a pot with 3–4 cups of water.
(Optional) Add cinnamon or ginger for added flavor and health benefits.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10–15 minutes.
Strain and serve.
Remove from heat and strain the liquid.
Add honey if desired.
Drink warm, like tea.
