Frequently Asked Questions About Tangerine Tea
How do you make Tangerine Tea?
To make Tangerine Tea, steep well-washed fresh tangerine peel in hot water, then strain it. Avoid boiling the peel for a long time, which can make the infusion taste bitter.
What are the benefits of Tangerine Tea?
Tangerine Tea is a fragrant, caffeine-free drink when made with fruit or peel alone. Citrus peel contains plant compounds, but drinking the tea has not been shown to treat colds or prevent illness.
Is Tangerine Tea made from the fruit or the peel?
Tangerine Tea is usually made from the peel, which gives the drink a fragrant, slightly bitter citrus flavor. Some recipes also add fruit slices or juice for a sweeter, fruitier taste.
Does Tangerine Tea contain caffeine?
No, Tangerine Tea made only with tangerine fruit or peel is naturally caffeine-free. A blend that includes black or green tea will contain caffeine from those tea leaves.
Can you make Tangerine Tea with dried peel?
Yes, dried peel works well for Tangerine Tea and is convenient to keep on hand. Dry clean peel completely before storing it in an airtight container, since leftover moisture can encourage mold.
Should you wash tangerine peel before making Tangerine Tea?
Yes, wash the tangerine thoroughly under running water and gently rub the skin before using it in Tangerine Tea. The peel goes directly into the infusion, so cleaning its surface matters.
What does Tangerine Tea taste like?
Tangerine Tea has a bright citrus aroma and a flavor that can be mildly sweet or slightly bitter, especially when made with peel. A little honey can sweeten it, but is not necessary.
Can Tangerine Tea help with a cough?
Tangerine Tea does not cure a cough, though sipping a warm drink may temporarily soothe an irritated throat. Seek medical advice if the cough is persistent or comes with breathing difficulty.
Can Tangerine Tea help with weight loss?
Tangerine Tea can replace a sugary drink if you serve it without added sweetener, but it does not cause weight loss by itself. Its value is as an unsweetened beverage, not a fat-burning remedy.
Can you drink Tangerine Tea cold?
Yes, Tangerine Tea can be chilled and served over ice after brewing. Strain out the peel before refrigerating to keep the flavor from becoming overly bitter.

What is Tangerine Tea?
Tangerine Tea is a fragrant infusion made by steeping fresh tangerine slices or dried peel in hot water. It is less a single regional specialty than a simple way of using citrus in a homemade drink; some versions include both the fruit and its zest.
Its aroma is bright and fruity, with a gentle sweet-tart flavour. It is usually enjoyed warm, especially in cooler weather, or served chilled as a light alternative to sweetened drinks. Steep the peel briefly to keep bitterness in check. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories—5 per 100 g—and suits anyone looking for citrus flavour without adding much sweetness.
