step by step
Method
- Step 1
Peel and separate the mandarins
- Peel the mandarins.
- Separate them into individual segments.
- Step 2
Heat the tea water
- Heat water in a saucepan until just below boiling.
- Step 3
Soak the segments
- Drop the segments into the hot tea water so they swell and the fibers loosen.
- Step 4
Scrape the fibers off
- Remove a segment from the water and scrape the fibers off with a paring knife or bird's beak knife.
- Use the tip of the knife to remove deeper fibers, working all the edges and sides without popping the segment.
- For small mandarins, clean the whole fruit the same way, more gently.
