During the soaking process, change the water once. If you want to better remove the bitter taste, soak it for a longer time and change the water several times.

After soaking, take it out and drain it, then put some water in it, about 200 ml, add some rock sugar and simmer over low heat. After melting, add some grapefruit peel into it. During the cooking process, stir constantly. When the sugar solidifies, turn off the heat and scoop it out. Let it cool before eating.
