Honey pomelo tea
Homemade honey grapefruit tea is made of simple raw materials. The key is to remove the bitterness. I have a clever trick——First, select appropriate raw materials and pay attention to the proportion of various raw materials. Grapefruit of about 1000g, with 100g rock sugar and 500g honey, tastes just right. Grapefruit should be round and tender; It is better to use yellow rock sugar for rock sugar. The raw material of the formula is sucrose instead of white granulated sugar; Honey should be light in taste, avoiding the aroma of grapefruit. It is better to use honey with thick texture.Second, deal with pomelo peel. The efficacy of honey grapefruit tea in clearing fire and regulating qi, beauty and removing spots mainly comes from grapefruit peel, and its color, flavor and taste are also closely related to grapefruit peel. However, grapefruit peel tastes very bitter. If it is not handled well, it will affect the flavor of the finished product and is not delicious. For this reason, I searched a lot of information and read many recipes of cheese makers. Finally, I found a better method. After several times, I thought the effect was very good. Please look down for details——Find suitable raw materials, pay a little patience, and a cup of fragrant, nourishing, warm-up and healthy drink beneficial to body and mind is born in your own hands——1. Honey should be added after the grapefruit sauce is cooled, and it is impossible to boil it. Otherwise, the nutrition will be lost and the effect will be lost;2. Eat it as soon as you're ready. You can soak it in water or eat it as jam.
Step 1 . Grapefruit should be thoroughly cleaned: first wash it after eating, then scrub it with fine salt, and finally rinse it with hot water of about 60 degrees;
Step 2 . Scrape off the grapefruit skin with a scraper, the thinner the better, and try to bring out as few white parts as possible;
Step 3 . Cut the peeled grapefruit into thin filaments, the thinner the better;
Step 4 . Add a little salt to the cut pomelo peel;
Step 5 . Start, knead with medium strength until the pomelo peel is watery and sticky, and rinse it with clean water; Repeat three times;
Step 6 . After the last rinse, soak the pomelo peel in light salt water for 3 or 4 hours, and even put it in the refrigerator overnight;
Step 7 . Rinse the soaked shredded pomelo peel again, put it into a small pot, add water and a little salt, and boil for about 10 minutes;
Step 8 . Take it out, rinse it clean and squeeze out the water, and set it aside. The grapefruit peel treated in this way basically has no great bitterness.
Step 9 . Peel out grapefruit meat;
Step 10 . Use the cooking machine to break the grapefruit meat. It doesn't need to be too fine, and it doesn't matter if it's a little coarse; (you can crush it with a spoon without a cooking machine, and it's effortless)
Step 11 . Put the crushed fruit pulp, pomelo peel and rock sugar into the pot (stainless steel pot, glass pot, casserole are OK, just don't use iron pot), and add a small half bowl of water (I added about 150ml);
Step 12 . Boil over a high fire, turn to a low fire and boil slowly, stir properly to avoid pasting the bottom of the pot;
Step 13 . Boil until the water is basically dry and the texture is thick, turn off the fire and let it cool to room temperature;
Step 14 . Add honey;
Step 15 . Stir evenly, pay attention to mixing in the same direction, and do not disperse;
Step 16 . Put it into a sterilized sealed container and store it in cold storage. It can be eaten after three days. The longer the time is, the less bitter it will be. My taste is slightly bitter after three days, and it disappears after five days.
