• To extract the essence of any citrus from the peel, take a piece of the peel from a wedge and fold it, so the bright part is on the outside, and squeeze hard to sprits the tea with the fresh oil. This works with any citrus peel including lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, etc. Go crazy. A little goes a long way and you can’t overdo it.
• If using extract, I find keeping them in little squeeze bottles makes adding a drop or two to anything very convenient and saves waste. Also it’s easy to overdo it on the extract, often less is more.
