Christmas Tea Recipe

Using a knife, take the zest of the citrus fruits. Then, cut the zests into very small pieces. Place the zests on a clean cloth and set them on a radiator for about 24 hours until they are completely dry. Peel the piece of ginger, slice it thinly, and then cut it into very small pieces. Also place it on a clean towel and let it dry on the radiator for about 24 hours.

Using a mortar and pestle, carefully crush the cloves and cardamom. Next, coarsely crush the star anise and cinnamon sticks. Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise and then into very small pieces.

Put all the ingredients in a small bowl with the citrus peels, ginger, spices, tea, and hibiscus leaves, and mix well.

Finally, transfer everything into an airtight container. Let it rest for at least 1 week before enjoying (to allow all the flavors to meld).
