Grapefruit is a natural canned fruit. Chinese medicine believes that grapefruit is sweet, sour and cold, and has the effects of invigorating stomach, promoting digestion, reducing qi and resolving phlegm, and being light and pleasing to the eye. Grapefruit is rich in protein, organic acids, vitamin C and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. Regular consumption, can effectively solve, to stomach evil, but also cough and phlegm.

In addition to being taken directly, grapefruit can also be made into citron tea, which is a very good health-preserving fruit and can also play a role in beauty. Eating grapefruit has many benefits, so I won't say it here. Maybe someone will ask, why not honey grapefruit tea? Because the nutrition of honey is completely destroyed after high temperature, it is not a waste, so here honey is replaced by rock sugar, which has the function of moistening lung and clearing fire. Isn't it better to combine the two? If you like honey grapefruit tea better, you can add some honey when you eat it, which will turn it into a rock sugar honey grapefruit tea. But you must not use boiled water for soaking water, but warm water.

A grapefruit

400 grams of rock sugar

200 grams of clean water

A teaspoon of salt.

The practice of rock sugar citron tea

1. Pomelo is slightly wetted with water first, and then rubbed on the epidermis with salt, mainly to clean and remove bitterness.

2. Dry the clean water to wash away the salt, and scrape off the yellow skin on the surface of grapefruit with an eraser. But note that as long as it is yellow skin, not white part, the white part is very bitter, and the degree of yellow spots is the most appropriate from scraping back.

3. Boil the peeled grapefruit peel with a bowl of water and a pinch of salt, pour off the water, rinse it off, and then soak it in water. This is to further remove bitterness. If you want to be bitter, you can omit this step.

4. At the top of the grapefruit, cut the rice word with a knife, draw a little deeper near the top, draw a little lighter near the bottom, and peel it off.

5. Take out the grapefruit, peel off the white film and take the meat for later use.

6. Put grapefruit meat, rock sugar and boiled skin into the pot and cook slowly, stirring constantly during the period. After cooking for a while, the grapefruit meat will come out and the rock sugar will melt. When I stir, I feel that the juice inside is thick (it will be thicker after cooling), and the grapefruit skin becomes translucent so that I can turn off the fire.

7. Put it in a clean, water-free and oil-free glass bottle while it is hot, put it in a cool place, and cover it tightly.
