LOOK, IN CHINA, SOME ORANGES AREN'T EATEN - THEY'RE USED TO MAKE TEA! First, they make a small opening in an unripe orange and remove only the peel. Then, they fill the inside with sticky rice so the peel doesn't shrink too much while it's dried in the sun. Once the peel is completely dried, the rice is removed, and the dried orange peel is used to make this traditional-style tea.
