DESCRIPTION
Dried lemon peel has a bold flavor, one part bitter and one part tangy sweet. Lemon peels make an excellent tea and blend well with other teas. To make lemon peel tea, just add one True Treats tea bag or one to two teaspoons of dried lemon peels to a cup of boiling water. Let steep for around ten minutes, depending on taste. The longer the peel sits, the stronger the taste. Lemon peels contain calcium, vitamin C, potassium and fiber. Add lemon peel to tea blends, beverages, cocktails, confections, chicken or fish dishes or blend into soups and smoothies. You can also use the peels in potpourri and spice mixes.
Spanish explorers brought lemon seeds to Florida and other warm-weather areas in the 1500s. By the 1700s, the lemon was cultivated and regularly shipped to northern ports, such as Philadelphia, where Colonists enjoyed all parts of the fruit, including the peel, which they cooked, candied, and dried to use in beverages and desserts.

Chamomile. Adds a bit of zing to create a floral edge. Great as a mid-day treat with a biscuit or piece of chocolate or before bed.
Peppermint or Spearmint. Adds a twang of citrus fun, aids digestion.
Hibiscus. What doesn’t go well with Hibiscus? Add for extra twang, especially good in cocktails.
Ginger. Perfect for rainy days. A real pick-me-up.
Chai. Orange peels often appear in chai blends, including some at True Treats. Either way, a piece or two can never hurt, especially when mixed with milk, cinnamon and honey.
