Citrus Peel Tea for Weight Loss

Print Recipe

A refreshing and aromatic tea made from the rinds of citrus fruits, perfect for supporting weight loss and hydration.

Ingredients

  • Citrus peels (lemon, orange, or grapefruit)
  • Hot water
  • Optional cinnamon stick
  • Optional fresh ginger slice
  • Optional sweetener (stevia or honey)

Instructions

  1. Start by deciding whether you will use fresh peels or dried peels.
  2. Clean the citrus fruit, removing any thick white pith if you prefer less bitterness.
  3. Slice the peels into thin strips or small pieces.
  4. Bring water to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  5. Pour about 8 ounces of water over 1 to 2 tablespoons of fresh peels in a mug or teapot.
  6. Cover and steep for 7 to 10 minutes for fresh peels, or 10 to 15 minutes for dried peels.
  7. Strain the tea into a cup, add an optional cinnamon stick or slice of ginger, and sweeten lightly if desired.
  8. Serve hot or let cool for iced tea.
  9. If making a larger batch, use about 1 cup of loosely packed fresh peels per 1 quart of water.

Notes

Customize the tea with additional spices or herbs for variety.
