May infusion with lemon peel

Mornings in Corfu smell of dusty zest – not juice, but warm peel that is left on the window after breakfast. I collect the zest from lemons, dry it on paper – in the shade, where the air moves. It quickly becomes fragile, ringing. After a couple of days – brew it. Not like tea. Just warm water, a little honey and a spoonful of dried peel. Sometimes I add thyme. This infusion is drunk slowly, without a purpose. It does not heal or invigorate. It reminds that the morning is not a place, but a ritual.

📌 Mini-recipe:

Lemon peel infusion

• 1 teaspoon dried lemon zest
