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.

Makes 2-3 servings

2-3 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups freshly squeezed pomelo juice (grapefruits can also be used)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ tsp whole allspice berries
  • ½ cup water
  • Cinnamon sticks or pomelo slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine juice, honey, cinnamon stick, allspice, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
  2. Cool slightly and strain tea from pulp and spices.
  3. Serve hot with cinnamon sticks or slices of pomelo.

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.
