Chinese Medicinal Pomelo Tea for Glowing Skin
30 mins prepServes 2
Pomelo is believed to have immune-boosting properties and is sometimes used to treat colds and flu. In addition, it is thought to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which may be beneficial for maintaining overall health and well-being
Peel about 1/2 the pomelo flesh and use a palm size amount of pomelo peel
Skin the pomelo, making sure to remove as much of the white thick pith as possible, then slice into thin strips
Drop the skin into boiling water and blanch for 5 mins, then repeat 3 times to remove as much of the bitterness as possible
For the fruit flesh, peel it out of its casing and make sure to remove as much of the white skin as possible, which makes the whole thing very bitter
Add the flesh and skin into a pot with the sugar and water and bring to a boil
Reduce over the course of ~20-30 mins until most of the water is gone and the mixture has turned into a thick paste
Take off the heat, then stir in the honey
Place into a jar for safe keeping and it’s ready to use!
You can keep the tea in the fridge for up to 2 weeks — just make sure to smell and check for any bacterial growth
