Honey Grapefruit Tea

Honey Grapefruit Tea

1. After peeling the Huyou peel, peel off the surface layer with a paring knife, and then use a kitchen knife to remove the cotton-like inner layer of the thick Huyou peel, leaving only the thin outer layer, and then shred.

2. The cut grapefruit peel is added with salt and water. Grab it with your hands. After soaking for 10 minutes, pour out the salt water and squeeze the salt water in the grapefruit peel. Add water and salt and repeat this 3 times.

3. At this time, the pulp of Huyou can be taken out and shredded.

4. Put the grapefruit peels soaked in salt water 3 times into a small pot, add salt and appropriate amount of water and boil for about 10 minutes, pour out the salt water, squeeze the salt water in the grapefruit peels, and wash them again with water.

5. Boil the grapefruit peel with water again until the color is transparent.

6. Add the huyu meat, cover and simmer on low heat.

7. When the pomelo is boiled until the water content becomes less and thicker, add the old rock sugar, simmer on low heat, and stir with chopsticks every few times.

8. When it is almost sticky as shown in the figure, you can turn off the heat to cool down

9. When the temperature of the grapefruit drops to 30 or 40 degrees, it can be bottled. One spoonful of grapefruit pulp and one spoonful of honey are added. Finally, use a spoon to stir a few times. After cooling, cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Tips:

1. It is best to use Huyou, and it is the skin that was cut off with a peeling knife on the surface of the Huyou, but the skin that I grew by myself is too ugly, it's not slippery, so I can only discard it. If you use the skin on the surface of huyou, it is best to scrub with salt first to remove the wax that may be oily on the surface.
2. The grapefruit skin is relatively thick, and the white cotton-like inside should be as clean as possible, because that part is super bitter.
3. Be sure to use salt + water to wash and soak repeatedly, so that 90% of the bitterness can be removed.
4. Don't leave after adding the old rock sugar. Stir slowly over low heat to avoid mashing the pot and discarding all previous efforts.
