  1. I made this tea but after 23 hours the base is still rind about 1/4 cup liquid. It didn’t become gel like as in commercial citron tea. So my base is rind with some
    pulp. What should I do?

    1. Hi Joan, This recipe will not gelatinize or taste like commercial products because it uses far less sugar and doesn’t contain preservatives or additives of any kind. The rind will soften, but it will not break down significantly. Go ahead and try to use a teaspoon or two in a cup of tea. Be sure to give it a good stir in the jar. If it’s not sweet enough, add more honey. Or, if you’re not watching your sugar intake add sugar to your liking. I love to consume the rind, but as noted in the article you can strain the tea for a rind-free, pulp-free tea. I hope this helps!

      Thank you for sharing your experience!
