Dried Lime Tea image

Slightly funky, a little bit sour, and very aromatic, an infusion of dried limes is a good alternative to iced tea in the summer.

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 dried limes (loomi Omani)
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste

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.
