Ingredients

• Peels from 2–3 organic lemons (yellow zest only, no white pith)
• 3 cups water
• Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or a pinch of cinnamon for flavor

Instructions

1. Wash the Lemons: Scrub lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues, especially if non-organic.
2. Peel Carefully: Use a peeler or knife to remove the yellow zest, avoiding the bitter white pith.
3. Boil Water: Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
4. Infuse Peels: Add lemon peels to the boiling water, reduce heat, and simmer for 10–15 minutes to release their compounds.
5. Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into a cup or jug. Add honey or cinnamon for taste, if desired. Enjoy warm or chilled.
