Citrus Peel Tea for Weight Loss

Print Recipe

A refreshing herbal infusion made from dried citrus peels, perfect for hydration and as a low-calorie beverage to support weight loss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh citrus peels (orange, lemon, or lime)
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • Optional sweetener (honey, stevia, or a small amount of sugar)
  • Optional spices (ginger, cinnamon, or peppermint)
  • Optional green tea or black tea bag
  • Optional gelatin (for iced preparations)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peels. Rinse citrus well and remove only the colored outer peel, avoiding bitter white pith when possible. Cut peels into strips or small pieces.
  2. Boil water. Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a rolling boil.
  3. Add peels to the pot. Place about 2 tablespoons of fresh peels or 1 tablespoon of dried peels into the boiling water, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  4. Simmer or steep. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes for a stronger infusion, or steep for 7 to 12 minutes for a gentler cup.
  5. Strain and serve. Strain the liquid into a mug and sip hot, or cool and pour over ice.
  6. Store leftovers properly. Refrigerate cooled tea in a sealed container for up to 48 hours.

Notes

Experiment with different citrus peels and sweeteners for variety.
