Of course, there are also precautions for soaking tangerine peel in water, try to remember "two want two don't", the effect is better if the method is right:
First: use 100 degrees of boiling water to soak tangerine peel
Because the tangerine peel is evaporated in a large amount of water during the drying process, the texture of the tangerine peel is hard, the water temperature is too low, the tangerine peel cannot be soaked, and the active ingredients it contains cannot be completely precipitated, so the effect will be better when brewed with boiling water at 100 degrees.
Second: the tangerine peel should be cleaned before soaking in water and drinking
Because the tangerine peel may be sandy with gray sand and impurities during the drying process, the tangerine peel should be cleaned before soaking in water to help the effective substances in the tangerine peel better precipitate into the water.

2. Don't: It's best not to make tangerine peel at home
For ordinary people, it is not recommended to make their own tangerine peel at home, because the drying process of tangerine peel is more complicated, and if it is not handled properly, it may cause mold and insect damage, which is not good for health.
