Lemon Peel Tea

Dried lemon peel has a bold flavor, one part bitter and one part tangy sweet. Lemon peels make an excellent tea and blend well with other teas. To make lemon peel tea, just add one True Treats tea bag or one to two teaspoons of dried lemon peels to a cup of boiling water. Let steep for around ten minutes, depending on taste. The longer the peel sits, the stronger the taste. Lemon peels contain calcium, vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Add lemon peel to tea blends, beverages, cocktails, confections, chicken or fish dishes or blend into soups and smoothies. You can also use the peels in potpourri and spice mixes.
