Korean Honey Citrus Tea has a sweet and citrusy flavor that is perfect for a hot or cold drink. This traditional Korean tea is made with pomelo or other citrus fruit, brown sugar, and honey. Pomelo is a large, grapefruit-like fruit that is sweet and tangy. This tea is a popular drink in Korea during the winter months, as it is believed to help ward off colds and flu. It is also a refreshing beverage to enjoy on a hot summer day. Korean Honey Citrus Tea can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference.

Instructions

1.	Peel the pomelo or other citrus fruit and separate the pulp from the skin.
2.	Cut the skin into small pieces and place them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Boil on high heat for 5 minutes.
3.	Strain the mixture and put the liquid back into the pot.
4.	Add the brown sugar and honey to the pot and mix well.
5.	Boil the mixture on medium heat until the sugar and honey dissolve completely.
6.	Add the pomelo or citrus fruit pulp to the mixture and boil for another 5 minutes.
7.	Strain the liquid and transfer to a container. Serve hot or cold.
