- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
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.

I bought a bag of these on a lark- part of my Covid coping scheme of experimenting with new & unfamiliar ingredients. The resulting hot tea is not too sweet but a bit strong in its funky limeiness- perfect for iced tea! Refreshing as is- and hot or cold, it's great mixed into a cup of Earl Grey. Next up: I'll try the accompanying cocktail at some point but am pondering it mixed w a bit of gin & soda! And I want to chuck one into a pot of chicken, white bean, or tortilla soup soon.

Oh, my goodness! This is a lovely hot beverage, all on its own. Does not leave a bitter aftertaste like black or some green teas. It is a real comfort treat.
John E. Boy
My word! Half that amount of sugar
