Honey Grapefruit Tea

1. Rub the grapefruit with salt to remove the wax from the skin! (You don't need to add water when scrubbing! Just grab the salt and rub it back and forth on the epidermis)

2. Rinse the grapefruit washed with salt, and then gently peel off the yellow skin with a paring knife. Remember: Don't apply too much force, the thinner the skin, the better;

3. Cut the yellow skin that has just been cut off into silk, the thinner the better;

4. Pour the cut leather shreds into a pot filled with water, boil the water and cook for 5 minutes, repeat the process three times (change the water each time) until the leather becomes slightly transparent;

5. Drain the water for later use;

6. Peel off the skin and white tendons of the grapefruit pulp, and try to break the pulp into smaller pieces by hand;

7. Put the grapefruit meat, shredded skin, rock sugar, and water into the pot together (the water will be enough for all the ingredients) to boil over high heat;

8. Prepare 2 clean glass bottles, boil them with boiling water, and wipe dry water for later use;

9. After the high fire is boiled, turn to low heat and simmer slowly; (At this time, people should always stand in front of the pot and stir with the spatula to prevent sticking to the pot and simmering)

10. Slowly simmer until the water is dry, and the grapefruit tea is ready when the grapefruit meat turns golden;

11. When it is warm, pour honey;

12. Stir evenly with chopsticks so that the honey and grapefruit tea are completely fused together;

13. While it is still warm, put the honey grapefruit tea into the jam jar;

14. Close the lid, tighten it upside down, and refrigerate; (this can be stored for one month, and must be consumed as soon as possible after opening)

15. The finished product!

Tips:
1. The jam jar should be boiled in boiling water for a few minutes in advance, disinfected, and then thoroughly dried with water before it can be used for jam, otherwise the jam will easily deteriorate.
2. Be patient when removing the white flesh of the peel, try to remove it as cleanly as possible, leaving only the yellow peel, leaving too much white flesh will make the jam bitter, and boiling three times in water is also to remove the bitterness of the peel.
