Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First wash the grapefruit with water, then apply a layer of salt on the grapefruit skin, and rub it vigorously and repeatedly to cover the entire skin to clean the grapefruit skin.

   

2. 2 Brush the salt off the skin and peel off the grapefruit peel. Although the peel is bitter, it is the essence of the grapefruit's expectorant and cough-relieving properties.

   

3. 3 Peel the grapefruit flesh and tear it into small pieces; cut the peeled yellow skin into thin strips about 3 cm long and ¹ mm thick, the thinner the better; marinate the cut grapefruit skin in salt water for 1 hour. (Note: Use a knife to peel the skin as thin as possible.)

   

4. 4 Put the pickled grapefruit peel into water and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes to soften and remove the bitterness.

   

5. 5 Put the processed grapefruit peel and pulp into a clean and oil-free pot, add a small bowl of water and rock sugar, and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 hour until it becomes thick and the pomelo peel is golden and translucent. Be careful to stir frequently while simmering to avoid sticking to the pot.

   

6. 6 After it cools down, add pure honey, stir evenly to make honey grapefruit tea, put it in a sealed jar and store it in the refrigerator. Rinse it with warm water when drinking.
