Cozy Cinnamon Citrus Tea

You can use any citrus you like for this recipe though we recommend something with a little sweetness like oranges, grapefruit, or mandarins. Warm, comforting, and citrusy, this tea is a favorite for cold weather or, alternatively, when you’re feeling a little under the weather.

Recipe Notes and Variations

There are so many ways you can use your leftover pomelo or grapefruit peels. You can zest a little extra flavor into your tea or baked goods, make a non-toxic kitchen cleaner, or add the peels to the braising liquid of a meat dish.
