Honey grapefruit tea's bitter medicine
Add honey or rock sugar.
If it tastes bitter when brewed with honey grapefruit tea, it may be due to improper treatment of pomelo peel or less honey rock sugar. Appropriate amount of honey crystal sugar can be added to increase the sweetness and relieve the bitterness to some extent, so as to remedy the taste of honey grapefruit tea.
Untreated grapefruit skin will affect its taste. In the process of peeling, the fiber structure was destroyed, which caused one of the enzymes to catalyze the conversion of bitter precursor (limonin precursor) into limonin, and there were also bitter substances of naringin, which made it bitter in honey grapefruit tea. So when making, try not to destroy the grapefruit skin, so as not to make honey grapefruit tea bitter.
