Bitterness mainly comes from the white flocs in the grapefruit peel. When making citron tea, as long as you pay attention to clean these flocs thoroughly and then treat them slightly, it will not be bitter.
1. Scrape the peeled grapefruit skin to remove the white floc inside, and scrape it as clean and thoroughly as possible. Then rub the shaved grapefruit skin with fine salt twice, cut it into filaments and soak it in hot water at about 6 degrees for one night.
2. Take out the soaked shredded grapefruit skin, boil it in boiling water for about 1 minutes, and take it out and drain it for later use. According to personal experience, if you just soak it without boiling water, the bitterness can't be completely removed.
3. When peeling grapefruit meat, you should also pay attention to the fact that there should be no white floc on the grapefruit meat, and it is best to remove even the silk on it.
