Honey grapefruit tea

Overview

Confucius mentioned more than a dozen people who did not eat in "The Analects of Confucius·Xiangdang No. 10", expressing his views on dietary health, dietary hygiene, and dietary etiquette. For example, not eating from time to time means that you should eat fruits and vegetables according to the seasons throughout the year. Now is the season when grapefruit is on the market in large quantities. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that grapefruit is sweet, sour, and cold in nature. It has the functions of strengthening the stomach and digesting food, lowering qi and eliminating phlegm, and making the body light and pleasing to the eye. Modern medical research has found that grapefruit meat is very rich in vitamin C and insulin-like ingredients, which can lower blood sugar and blood lipids. In addition to these, the effect of grapefruit on reducing internal heat should not be underestimated. Now that the weather is relatively dry, it is easy to get internal heat, so you should eat more grapefruit appropriately. Making grapefruit tea like this is also a good choice. Even when you go to work, you can brew yourself a cup of sweet honey at any time and feel happy.

Steps

1. 1 Clean the grapefruit using conventional methods, then rub it with salt for about 1 minute, and then let the salt stay on the grapefruit peel for about 10 minutes;

   

2. 2 Rinse the grapefruit with clean water; use a spatula to scrape off the skin of the grapefruit, the thinner the skin, the better, and try to bring out as little white part as possible (one of the secrets of not being bitter)

   

3. 3 Place the scraped grapefruit peel with the inside facing up and cut it into thin strips, the thinner the better;

   

4. 4 Add a little salt to the cut grapefruit peel and wash it for about 1 minute; then rinse it twice with water; after the last rinse, soak the shredded grapefruit peel in light salt water for more than 2 hours, or put it in the refrigerator overnight (the second secret of not being bitter);

   

5. 5 Peel out the grapefruit flesh;

   

6. 6 Rinse the soaked grapefruit peel with water again, then add water and a little salt and cook for about 5 minutes (the third secret of not being bitter);

   

7. 7 Put the grapefruit peel, pulp, water and sugar into the bread machine bucket and start the jam program;

   

8. 8 If it is still a little thin after one program, open it again; wait until it becomes thick, let it cool, then pour in the honey and stir evenly; clean the bottle containing the grapefruit tea, then put it in the microwave and press the sterilization button to let the program automatically sterilize the bottle; then pour the mixed grapefruit tea into the bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
