2. Grate tangerines to make 1 1/2 teaspoons zest; set aside. Squeeze juice from 3 tangerines; reserve. Cut peel and white pith from remaining tangerines. Holding tangerine over a bowl, cut segments from between membranes. Strain juice from segments and add to reserved juice, Set segments and juice aside.
