Steps:
- Combine sugar, 1/4 cup tarragon, and 1/4 cup water in a jar, cover, and shake until sugar is dissolved. Strain tarragon syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or small bowl; discard tarragon.
- Using a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from blood oranges, clementines, navel oranges, and tangerines; discard. Slice citrus crosswise into 1/4"-thick rounds. Arrange citrus on a platter, drizzle with tarragon syrup (if your citrus is sweet, you may not want to use all of the syrup), and top with more tarragon leaves.
- Do Ahead
- Syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Use fresh citrus fruits for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus, you can use store-bought citrus juice, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
- Choose a type of citrus that you enjoy. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits are all good choices.
- Add a sweetener to the tea if you like. Honey, sugar, or stevia are all good options.
- Garnish the tea with a sprig of tarragon or a citrus slice before serving.
- Serve the tea hot or cold. If you're serving it hot, you can heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. If you're serving it cold, you can chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Citrus tea with tarragon is a refreshing and flavorful beverage that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious drink, give citrus tea with tarragon a try.
