So, how to drink tangerine peel correctly?

Choose high-quality tangerine peelFirst of all, it is necessary to choose a high-quality tangerine peel. A good quality tangerine peel should have a natural oily shine and smell fresh. If the tangerine peel is dull, smelly or moldy, it may be of poor quality or improper storage, and should not be consumed.

Pair with other ingredientsSecondly, when drinking tangerine peel, it can be combined with other ingredients to reduce the bitterness and improve the taste. For example, ingredients such as honey, red dates, and ginger can be added to neutralize the bitterness and improve the sweetness and taste. In addition, tangerine peel can also be brewed with other teas, such as pu-erh, white tea, etc., to achieve a complementary effect.

Control the dosage and brewing timeIn addition, when drinking tangerine peel, the amount and brewing time should be controlled. If the amount of tangerine peel is too much or the brewing time is too long, it may cause the bitterness to worsen. Generally speaking, it is recommended to brew 2-3 cups of tea with 3-5 grams of tangerine peel each time, and the brewing time should not exceed 10 minutes.

Pay attention to the temperature of the brewing waterFinally, when brewing tangerine peel, you should pay attention to the water temperature. If the water temperature is too high, it may cause too much bitter substances in the tangerine peel to precipitate, which will aggravate the bitter taste. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the water temperature between 80-90 degrees Celsius.
