I love this wonderful recipe that is packed with vitamin C. It's especially useful when you're battling a cold or just need an extra boost of vitamin C. The recipe for this hot Citrus tea is from the wonderful Honeysuckle, and it brought back wonderful memories. 

Although in Korea they use the Yuja fruit, which my Korean mother never made into tea, the recipe I found uses 2 lemons and 1 orange. After washing the fruit, I sliced it thinly, including the rinds. I then added 2 inches of ground ginger root, a tablespoon of turmeric, and a cup of raw honey, and mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl. The wonderful aroma of these ingredients together was just amazing. 

I then stored the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for one month. The next morning, I placed a portion of the mixture into a cup of boiling water, and the wonderful flavors fused together. 

This wonderful citrus tea is not only enjoyable but it is also loaded with vitamin C, which makes it a wonderful treat for your body. Remember to store the mixture in the fridge for a week. Also, it's worth noting that this wonderful mixture is amazing in oatmeal. Just heat it with milk, add oats, and enjoy. 

Thank you for reading, and I'm delighted to welcome new readers to my wonderful blog.

    I love citrus tea but I have never tried it with oatmeal. Great idea, thank you. It is also a great base for peppermint tea as well. Thanks again for the oatmeal suggestion.
