Honey grapefruit tea is a popular health beverage imported from South Korea. Known for its tangy and slightly cooling flavor, it offers various benefits such as aiding digestion, clearing phlegm, reducing hangover symptoms, relieving pain, and detoxifying the body. Koreans often blend honey with yuzu (a type of citrus fruit similar to grapefruit) to create a delicious and nutritious drink called "honey yuzu tea." Due to its rich nutritional profile, unique taste, and health benefits, this tea has gained popularity among Chinese consumers in recent years.
In supermarkets, a 1kg can of Korean honey grapefruit tea can cost nearly 50 yuan. The ingredients are easy to find, the production cost is relatively low, and the process isn't complicated. For farmers and small food manufacturers in areas where grapefruit is grown, setting up a small workshop to produce this tea could be a profitable and practical business opportunity.
Here's how you can make it at home:
1. **Preparation of Ingredients**: Choose fresh grapefruits with golden skin and firm flesh. Use lighter honey varieties, and prepare an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
2. **Grapefruit Processing**: Soak the grapefruits in warm water for about 5 minutes to clean the outer layer and open up the pores. After soaking, carefully peel the fruit into three layers: the first is the yellow zest, which should be cut into thin strips about 3 cm long and 1 mm thick (the thinner, the better). These strips are then soaked in salt water for a while. The second layer is the white pith, which is the most bitter part and can be adjusted based on personal preference. Finally, remove the pulp, mix it with a mixer, and combine the peeled zest and pulp in a clean, oil-free pot. Add some clear water and rock sugar, and simmer on medium to low heat for about an hour until the mixture becomes thick and sticky. Once cooled, add honey and stir well to obtain the final honey grapefruit tea.
3. **Canning and Storage**: After mixing, transfer the tea into cans and seal them. It can be consumed after being stored for 10 days. The longer it’s stored, the more flavorful it becomes.
**Tips for Operation**: The amount of honey and rock sugar can be adjusted according to taste. Those who prefer sweeter flavors can increase the quantity, while those who avoid sugar due to high blood sugar or fat levels should reduce it. If you're concerned that reducing sweeteners might make the tea too bitter, you can extend the pickling and brewing time. On the other hand, if you enjoy the bitterness, you can use less sugar and honey, add more of the white pith, and shorten the cooking time. This way, you can customize the tea to suit your preferences.
