2. Tips for making aloe vera kumquat tea
To make a delicious cup of aloe vera kumquat tea, you need to keep in mind a few tips to help make your drink even better:
When choosing aloe vera, choose fresh leaves of moderate size with an even green color. The skin must be intact, when pressed lightly, you will feel the crunch of aloe vera.
When squeezing out the kumquat juice, you need to do it gently to avoid releasing the essential oils in the peel, making the juice bitter. Ideally, use a strainer to retain the natural, refreshing flavor of the kumquat.
Finally, you need to choose the right type of tea (like jasmine tea or light green tea) so that the tea flavor can blend with the sweet and sour taste of kumquat and the freshness of aloe vera.
