Honey grapefruit tea's practice ~ ~

Seeing that many girls can't buy citron tea, I decided to post it. You can try it yourself. I've already done it, and it's quite successful. It's not bad to replace grapefruit with lemon to make lemon tea ~ ~

I. Material preparation

1, 2 Hu You

2, sugar 80g

3. 200ml of honey (I used Wang's jujube honey)

4. Sealed jar (I used to use a bottle full of honey)

Huyou is the best choice for grapefruit. Huyou is small, a bit like an orange, with golden skin and tender meat. Compared with other pomelos, Huyou has the highest Vc content and is called the king of pomelos. It is best to use honey with light fragrance, which can highlight the fruity aroma of grapefruit.

2. The grapefruit is soaked 5min hot water for about 5 minutes, washed and dried. The hot water is controlled at about 65℃, as long as it feels hot but not hot. Soaking can fully open the pores of epidermis, which is convenient for cleaning and pickling.

3. Use a peeler to cut off the golden part of the epidermis and cut it into thin strips about 1mm wide and 4cm long. Pomelo peel has a bitter taste. You can soak it in water or boil it first, which will reduce the bitterness, but at the same time weaken the efficacy. In fact, the longer citron tea is soaked, the lighter the bitterness will naturally become, and the unique taste and efficacy of grapefruit peel is the essence of citron tea.

Fourth, peel off the flesh, remove the core and thin skin, and break it with a blender. If you like to eat pulp, you can mash it directly with a spoon.

5. Add sugar and honey, cut the grapefruit skin into mud and stir well.

6. Bottle and refrigerate

You can eat it in cold storage for about a week, but the longer you keep it, the better it tastes. It is best to use warm water when brewing, so as not to destroy the original nutrients. It can also be eaten as jam and has a special flavor.

The second type:

Pomelo: It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "eat it, remove bad breath in the stomach, relieve alcohol toxicity, treat the drinker's qi, do not think lightly about eating, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough". Tea made of grapefruit has this habit in ancient China and other countries, Japan and South Korea. In modern people's mind, citron tea also has the beauty effect, because, ah, grapefruit is rich in vc, three times more than lemon! !

First of all, we should prepare the materials needed for production:

Grapefruit: 500g (with pulp)

White sugar:100g (preferably sucrose)

Honey: 250g (it is best to choose fragrant honey, such as Sophora japonica honey, and osmanthus honey is not recommended).

Glass bottle: the best can hold 1000cc. Boil in water for 5 minutes to disinfect. Wash grapefruit with warm water at 65 degrees Celsius. If there is no thermometer, you can measure the temperature by hand. It may be hot to the touch, but it's enough to the touch. Then soak for 5 minutes, so that on the one hand, you can wash the grapefruit skin, and at the same time, you can use the water temperature to open the pores of the grapefruit skin. Ok, now five minutes have passed. Use a clean towel to suck the grapefruit dry. Then peel it off and pay attention to three parts. First, the grapefruit skin, then the white pulp between the grapefruit skin and the grapefruit pulp, and finally the grapefruit meat. Cut the skin into 4 or 5 cm long and 0. 1-0.2 cm wide, just like we usually make shredded potatoes. The same is true of white pulp. Cut it and put it aside for later use. Then peel the grapefruit meat, peel and core it, put the meat in a big container and "squeeze" it out with a spoon or other utensils. If there is a blender, it can be crushed with a blender. After processing, stir the shredded skin, white pulp, pulp, honey and sugar. The quantity mentioned above is only a reference value, and you can decide to put more or less according to your preference. After stirring, put citron tea into the prepared glass bottle, seal it and put it in the refrigerator. You can eat it in about 65,438+00 days, but the longer you leave it, the better it tastes.
