When making homemade mandarin honey tea at home, choose hu yu oranges; although they are small, their golden-yellow rinds and tender flesh make them the ones with the highest vitamin C content. Use honey with a milder aroma to highlight the fruit's fragrance.The key step in making mandarin tea is handling the mandarin orange. First, wash the mandarin orange thoroughly; if you're concerned about wax on the surface, use a toothbrush dipped in salt to clean it, then rinse with warm water.Next, divide the mandarin into three parts and peel it open. The first layer is the mandarin peel, which is the essence for expectorant and antitussive effects; cut the peeled yellow rind into about 3 cm long and 1 mm thick strips; the finer they are, the better.Then comes the white pith between the mandarin peel and the flesh. This part is the bitterest in the orange, so you can remove it according to your taste.Finally, remove the mandarin flesh and tear it into pieces. Use a mixer if available; otherwise, manually mash it. Add the peeled strips of peel and mashed flesh to a clean pot without oil, add a small bowl of water and ice sugar, and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour until thick and golden.After cutting and marinating, most of the bitterness from the mandarin peel is reduced; further cooking will make it even milder.Cool down and then mix in honey. Stir well to complete the Mandarin honey tea.

If you prefer sweeter tea, add more rock sugar or honey;for those who like the bitter taste of the mandarin, peel a bit thicker.Store it in a sealed bottle in the refrigerator after making; it can be eaten at any time. Just scoop 2-3 spoons and mix with warm water when you want to drink.You can also eat it asmarmalade, with a unique flavor.But those with cold constitutions or weak spleens should not consume too much.
