Tangerine sun and tea on the roof

Morning on the island is not coffee. It is tangerines that I cut right on warm ceramics, and tea in which light is steeped.

On a wicker tray: a sprig of olive, two pieces of dried figs and my mug of tea infused with tangerine zest, lemon pulp and the gold of honey. Next to it is a notebook where I write down the morning formula.

🍊 Recipe for tea with tangerine and honey

Ingredients (for 1 cup):

• 1 tsp fresh tangerine zest

• 2 pieces of lemon (with peel)

• 1 tsp honey (preferably thyme)

• 1/2 tsp calendula or chamomile flowers (optional)

• 200 ml hot water (not boiling water)

How to brew: Pour hot water over all ingredients, cover with a lid, and let steep for 7 minutes. Drink slowly, in the sun or by the window. This is a drink in which the morning dissolves.
