Citron tea
By EastonDavis
Grapefruit itself is rich in nutrients and contains far more calcium and vitamins than other fruits. The vitamin C content is three times that of lemons and oranges, and the calcium content is 10 times more than that of apples, pears, bananas and other fruits. In addition, grapefruit is also rich in natural citric acid and various inorganic salts, which not only helps liver, stomach, lungs and other functions, but also has the effects of clearing heat, relieving cough and phlegm. Due to the addition of natural honey, the required trace elements are increased. It has the effects of beautifying skin, moistening throat and relieving cough, preventing colds, and helping digestion

Characteristics: Fruity aroma, with cough and phlegm effects.Citron tea Make Tips
1. The choice of pomelo requires some care; it is best to use the small Huyou variety, the kind with a thinner peel. Generally, other pomelo varieties like honey pomelos are not chosen because Huyou peel has a unique fragrance and is also relatively thinner.
2. For preparing the pomelo, if you are concerned that the surface has been waxed, you can scrub it with a toothbrush dipped in some salt, then wash it with warm water.
3. After sealing it in a jar, store it in the refrigerator. It needs to sit for about ten days before it is ready to drink, as the flavor will be better by then. When serving, scoop out 2-3 spoonfuls from the jar and mix with warm water. It tastes sweet with the unique bitterness characteristic of pomelo. It can also be eaten as a jam for a distinct flavor. However, people with a cold constitution or weak spleen should not eat too much of it.
4. If you like the taste of lemon, you can add some lemon along with the peel and pulp, or add a little lemon juice when sealing the jar. This way, it will have the fresh scent of lemon when you drink it.
