Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to around 120 °C.
  2. Peel the orange and lemon zest thinly using a vegetable peeler and chop into equal-sized pieces. Peel the ginger and chop into thin slices.
  3. Spread out the orange zest, lemon zest and ginger on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and dry in the pre-heated oven. It’s best to leave the oven door open so that the moisture can evaporate. Turn the ingredients occasionally while they dry. The fruit and ginger take approximately 45 minutes to dry.
  4. Allow the citrus zests and ginger to cool. Chop the dried fruit into pieces and mix through the citrus zests and ginger. Store in a cool and dry place.
  5. To make one cup of tea, steep two teaspoons of the mix in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Then remove the ingredients and enjoy your homemade tea.
