Dried Lime Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Break the dried limes into several pieces. (You can use a mortar and pestle or put them in a sandwich bag and smack them with a hammer.) Combine 4 cups water and the lime pieces in a small saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and strain through cheesecloth or a coffee filter. Discard the solids. Add the sugar to the tea and stir until dissolved. Drink hot or cool to room temperature and then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Crush limes with a pestle in a mortar until the pieces resemble small stones.
• Combine water and crushed lime in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce temperature and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Strain into 4 tea cups and sweeten with honey as desired. Serve hot or cold

Steps:

• Muddle the mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker with just a splash of the dried lime tea. Add the rest of the tea plus the rum and bitters, shake well, then strain into a tall glass and fill with crushed ice. Garnish with the mint sprig and serve with a straw.
