Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Have a grapefruit and an orange ready. First rub the skin off the oranges and grapefruits with salt. This will remove the wax from the skin of the grapefruit. Then use a peeling knife to scrape a quarter of the grapefruit peel. Zest of one-half large orange. ps: Because I don’t like bitter ones very much. So put less grapefruit peel.

   

2. 2 Soak the shredded grapefruit peel in light salt water. The time I usually soak it is the time it takes me to grill the grapefruit meat. This saves time. The grapefruit peel must be cut as finely as possible! The grapefruit tea brewed after doing this will taste better.

   

3. 3 Then it’s time to grill the grapefruit meat! Try to remove the white skin of the grapefruit as much as possible! That way it won't be very bitter.

   

4. 4 The grapefruit meat is ready. The grapefruit peel is almost soaked. Fire! ps: As for me, I use an electric pot. My new community doesn’t have natural gas yet. In fact, it is best to use a casserole when cooking this health-preserving tea sauce. Use a slotted spoon to remove the grapefruit peel from the lightly salted water. Put into pot. Then add water. The fire comes to a boil. Then cook over medium heat until the grapefruit peel becomes soft. Fish out.

   

5. 5 Remove and cool. Look. The color is so transparent! Control the moisture and spread it on the bottom of the pot. Then add the grapefruit meat.

   

6. 6 Stir while the grapefruit meat and grapefruit peel are heating. Slowly the juice will seep out on its own. Add polycrystalline rock sugar according to personal taste. The result will be brighter and sweeter. More and more juice. Let the sugar melt, then reduce to medium-low heat. Boil.

   

7. 7 In the process of cooking. The sugar liquid will be thick and there will be bubbles and some splashing out of the pot. Be careful when doing it. It will take about 30 minutes to cook. The brewing process is difficult, but you must insist on stirring the grapefruit tea from time to time! How about it not sticking to the pan and making it burnt? That wouldn't taste good. Just boil it until it reaches the point in the photo, then weigh it out in a container, cool it to about 40 degrees Celsius and pour in the honey. Mix well. Seal in an airtight jar. Place in refrigerator. Refrigerate for three days, then rinse with water or mix with black tea☕. It tastes pretty good! Homemade without preservatives. Can also be used as jam. Very tasty. When my sisters come to our house as guests, they love to drink the tea I make. You guys should try it too!
