Grapefruit tea
Overview
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, making the body light and pleasing to the eye. Modern medical research has found that pomelo meat is very rich in vitamin C and insulin-like ingredients, so it has the effects of lowering blood sugar, lowering blood lipids, losing weight, and beautifying the skin

Ingredients
Steps
-
Grapefruit and lemon should be washed with salt in advance. After washing, use a peeler to peel out the peel of the grapefruit and lemon. The thinner the better
-
Powder the yellow rock sugar. If you don’t have yellow rock sugar, just use rock sugar instead
-
Cut the grapefruit peel and lemon peel into shreds, the thinner the better
-
Use salt to squeeze out the astringent water from the shredded grapefruit peel, rub it with salt to remove the astringent water, and repeat the scrubbing for two or three times
-
Squeeze out the water from the rinsed grapefruit peel, and cover it with 150 grams of yellow rock sugar. (This step is a key step to make the grapefruit peel not bitter and cannot be ignored)
-
Marinate with rock sugar overnight (or 12 hours) until the grapefruit peel becomes transparent and glassy
-
Peel out the grapefruit flesh and set aside
-
After marinating for 12 hours, stir-fry the grapefruit peel and lemon peel together. Stir-fry until the rock sugar dissolves, then add the remaining rock sugar and stir-fry until it dissolves
-
After frying until the rock sugar melts, add the pulp and lemon juice (adding lemon juice can make the grapefruit jam more flavorful) and then stir-fry until the jam has a thick consistency
-
Let the pulp simmer for a while until the water evaporates. Don't fry it too much or it will harden without adding cold grapefruit tea. The fried grapefruit paste can be bottled and stored
