Grapefruit harvest season, bought two at once, directly ate one, the original taste, to the greatest extent to maintain the nutrition of grapefruit - clear fire and smooth qi, cough and phlegm, healthy spleen and lungs. In addition, because it is rich in VC and has the effect of preventing colds, it is one of the preferred fruits in autumn and winter.
Young people have good teeth, are not afraid of acid, eat a few large petals at once, it is called a moisturizer, but for the elderly, it is not so easy to eat more grapefruit. The Chongyang Festival is approaching, always to express a little bit of heart for parents - spent a little effort, the grapefruit processed into honey grapefruit tea, not only retains the nutrition of grapefruit, but also adds honey, rock sugar warm and sweet, the taste is especially suitable for the elderly - delicious can be shared with the family, which is the most important.
The practice of honey grapefruit tea is not difficult, patience is very important.
Choose a medium-sized grapefruit, preferably the kind of orange-yellow grapefruit with a peel, which looks good and is sweeter. I use regular grapefruit and it feels good.
Wash the grapefruit first – wet the skin, apply a thin layer of baking soda, rub it a few times, rinse it with water and dry it.
Use a knife like peeling an apple to cut off the outermost yellow skin of the grapefruit, the thinner the better, try to bring as little white thick skin as possible, otherwise it will be very bitter.
Cut the peel of the peeled grapefruit into thin strips with a knife, the thinner the better.
Cutting the grapefruit peel is more patient than cutting the grapefruit peel, and it will be better to cut the face up, and it can also be referred to cutting the filament with scissors, which will be a little slower, but it will save effort.
Place the chopped grapefruit peel in water, add a small spoonful of salt and knead a few times. According to personal preference, soak for 1-24 hours, the longer the time, the less bitter taste.
The soaked grapefruit peel is dried with water, added to a pot of water, and boiled for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat, the grapefruit skin becomes translucent.
When boiling the grapefruit peel, start processing the grapefruit meat, peel off the thick skin, break the grape into small pieces, put it into a slightly larger pot, add 100 grams of rock sugar (about half a small rice bowl), and a small rice bowl of water. Once the grapefruit peel is cooked, drain it, put it together in a pot and cook for 1 hour on medium-low heat, stirring several times in between to prevent the paste.
After 1 hour, turn to high heat to thicken the remaining moisture. to turn off the heat.
Let cool and add 500 g of honey (about 350 ml). Too high a temperature can destroy the nutrients of honey.
Honey grapefruit tea is ready, take a sealed container, wash and boil to disinfect, dry and load into honey grapefruit tea, refrigerate and save, drink with some warm boiled water or cold boiled water.
Tips:
Previously suspected that high temperature heating will destroy the VC components in grapefruit, recently from the Internet to collect some information, said that the acidic environment will greatly improve the preservation rate of VC, grapefruit tea is an example, in addition to hot water to soak lemon slices, VC is also rarely damaged by heat.
Such a good thing for all ages, health and beauty, it is worth a try.
