Dried Lime Tea

Recipe by Dr. Linda Khoshaba

Ingredients:

3-4 dried limes
Honey (optional, to taste)

Directions:

  • Prepare the Limes: 
    • Crack open the dried limes to expose their insides. This helps release their flavors and nutrients more effectively during brewing.
  • Boil the Water: 
    • In a small pot, bring enough water to cover the limes to a boil.
  • Brew the Tea: 
    • Place the cracked limes in the boiling water. Reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This long simmering helps extract the full flavor and health benefits of the limes.
Strain and Serve: After simmering, remove the pot from the heat. Use a tea strainer or a pour-over brewer to pour the tea into cups. If desired, sweeten with honey to balance the sour taste of the limes.

Health Benefits

  • Rich in Vitamin C: Dried lime tea is an excellent source of natural vitamin C, which is crucial for boosting the immune system, enhancing skin health, and aiding iron absorption.
  • Aids Digestion: The acidic properties of lime can stimulate the digestive system and help relieve indigestion and constipation.
  • Iron Absorption: The high vitamin C content in dried lime tea can increase the absorption of iron from your diet, beneficial for those with iron deficiency.
  • Antioxidant Properties: Limes are high in antioxidants, which fight free radicals and can reduce inflammation.

This traditional Middle Eastern remedy offers a tangy, revitalizing beverage that not only quenches thirst but also offers numerous health benefits.
