Best Chinese Tasty Kumquat Tea Recipes
CHINESE - TASTY KUMQUAT TEA
Now this is something that I will be trying soon. This is a tasty, flavorful, tangy drink. When served hot it may help in fighting cold or flu symptoms. For a sweeter drink add honey or sugar to taste. When served cold it is the Chinese answer to American lemonade.

Steps:
- Cut a round of parchment paper to fit inside a small heavy saucepan and set aside. Put kumquats in saucepan with enough cold water to cover and bring just to a boil. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water, then return to pan with 1 1/2 cups sugar, water (3/4 cup) , and a pinch of salt. Cover with parchment round and gently simmer until kumquats are tender and translucent, about 30 minutes. Cool completely in syrup.
- Just before serving, strain kumquats through a sieve set over a bowl and let stand 15 minutes (reserve syrup for another use; see note, above). Roll kumquats in remaining 1/2 cup sugar.
- Do Ahead
- Candied kumquats keep in syrup up to 3 months, chilled. Stain before coating with sugar.
