How do you use dried tangerine peels?
- Mandarin Peel Tea:
One of the most popular ways to use these peels is to steep them in water for a fragrant and refreshing mandarin tea.
- Preparation: Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried peels to boiling water. Let this steep for 5-10 minutes and optionally add honey or a little sugar for extra flavour.

Mandarin peels add an aromatic citrusy flavor to soups, stews, or broths. They are often used in Chinese dishes to add depth and complexity to the flavor.
