Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Fresh grapefruit
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 Black tea bag
- 2 cups Water
- 1 sprig Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the grapefruit under cold water. Using a sharp knife, cut the grapefruit in half and juice it into a bowl or measuring cup. Reserve about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the grapefruit pulp (optional for added texture).
In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Add the black tea bag to the boiling water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired tea strength.
While the tea is steeping, add the grapefruit juice and pulp to a separate heatproof container or teapot.
Once the tea is ready, remove the tea bag and stir in the honey until dissolved.
Pour the hot tea over the grapefruit juice in the container and mix well.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
If serving hot, pour into mugs or teacups and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. If serving iced, let the tea cool to room temperature, pour it over ice in a glass, and garnish with mint.
