How to set citrus:currentDate to UTC

[petervalencic]

Citrus Version
Citrus 2.8.0

Question
Is there a way to set a currentDate to UTC?

What I've tried so far
In my country, I've adjusted the time by subtracting 1 hour as demonstrated below. However, within the GitLab pipeline, there's a server configured with UTC dateTime. Consequently, I'll need to modify the variable when concluding testing on my local PC…

<variables>
<variable name="now" value="citrus:currentDate('yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'','-1h')" />
</variables>
