Author: My Delicious Blog
Recipe type: Fruit
Cuisine: Fruit
Serves: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 4 c. water
- 1 large Star Fruit
- 2” piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 3-4” piece orange peel
- 1 lemon
- 2-3 Tb. raw honey
- Fresh mint (optional)
Instructions
- Pour water into a pot and bring to a boil.
- Thinly slice the Star Fruit, ginger and lemon; use a vegetable peeler to get a peel from the orange.
- Once water boils, remove from heat and add the Star Fruit, ginger, lemon slices and orange peel. Allow to steep, uncovered, about 20 minutes, then stir in the honey, to taste.
- Strain into a cozy mug, wrap your hands around it, inhale the wonderful aroma, sip it slowly, and enjoy 🙂
Notes
1) Tip: to easily peel the ginger root, use the edge of a spoon to scrape the delicate skin away.
2) The tea cools quite a bit during the steeping process, so if it's not hot enough to your liking, simply warm on the stove or microwave.

Love this idea for star fruit in tea. I do fruit water when we have guests over but it is usually lemon and lime – I love the star fruit idea. Thank you for this new fun tea to try.
I hope you like it Kathy! It’s another great way to use up star fruit, especially if you have a tree in your very own backyard 🙂
Great writing Nicole! This sounds exactly what we need during these chilly nights! I’m glad to hear it is supposed to warm up soon!
Thank you Jill! I’m glad we’re heading back to normal temps. . .I don’t think our little Libby can take much more 🙂
I love your starfruit juice, so I know I’ll love this tea. I’m drinking cup after cup to warm up. Tomorrow we’re back up to 70, yay!
Thanks Danielle! This one has a nice ‘zing’ to it from the ginger, so it’s good in just about any weather 🙂
