Firstly, peel off the yellow-orange skin, you also can make this tea using the skin. But it tastes nasty, and need a lot of working procedures to deal with it. So, I only use the flesh.

Then, peel off the white skin, left the flesh. If you’re not a big fan of bitter, make sure the white skin removed totally, since it is the most bitter part.

Heat Up
