Learn to make honey grapefruit tea

Overview

This is my first time making grapefruit tea. I saw that various methods are different, so I tried it myself. Here are some thoughts. First, the grapefruit peel is still cut too big when shredded. If you want to try it, you can cut it as finely as possible. This should remove more bitterness during the soaking process. Second, some grapefruit peels are pickled with salt and then boiled in water for about 10 minutes. I figured that the essence is in the peel, and I was afraid that a lot of active ingredients would be lost when cooked, so I skipped this step. However, the finished product has a strong bitter taste. If you don’t mind, boil it first and it should be less bitter. Third, I used one grapefruit peel and half a grapefruit meat. I felt that I used less grapefruit meat, because when I put the grapefruit meat down, it looked like a lot, and in the end there was only a little left. You can enlarge half or the whole grapefruit meat. Fourth, when eating, I feel that it tastes better this way: soak it in warm water for each time to get out most of the honey flavor and eat it first. For the second time, soak it in boiling water for a while to bring out the aroma of the pomelo peel. The pomelo grains will also be filled with water, making it very interesting to eat. This way, you can get both nutrition and taste. I hope the above will be helpful to the cones you want to make.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Rub the grapefruit carefully once or twice with salt.

   

2. 2 Peel off the pomelo peel.

   

3. 3 Then peel off the white part, leaving as little white as possible as it will be very bitter.

   

4. 4 Cut the grapefruit into thin shreds (I cut it a bit coarsely).

   

5. 5 Rub the cut pomelo peel with a small amount of salt for a while and then rinse it off. Repeat this three times and soak it for 1 hour. (You can also soak it longer and change the water to remove more bitterness)

   

6. 6 Peel out the grapefruit flesh and set aside.

   

7. 7 Put the soaked grapefruit peel and appropriate amount of rock sugar in an enamel pot. (You can also boil the pomelo peel for 10 minutes before this step)

   

8. 8 Add water to cover the pomelo peel.

   

9. 9 Cook until the pomelo skin is transparent and a small amount of water remains.

   

10. 10 Add pomelo meat and cook together. No need to add additional water, the pomelo meat will release a lot of water.

    

11. 11 Cook until the skin and meat are translucent and the water is almost dry.

    

12. 12 After it cools down, pour an appropriate amount of honey over it and refrigerate it for a few days or a week before eating.
