How to Choose Good Grapefruit
- The skin should be taut, bright, with evenly spaced thorns and large spikes.
- The fruit should be round and uniform in shape, not misshapen.
- Choose fruits with thin skin (by lightly tapping on the grapefruit skin and listening for a “clack” sound), as these are usually ripe grapefruits with good taste and sweetness.
- A heavy fruit, weighing about 1kg or more, is typically a ripe fruit.
- If the grapefruit stem is still fresh and firmly attached to the fruit, that’s even better.
Tools Needed
How to make Grapefruit Mint Ice Cream
-
Prepare the ingredients
First, peel the grapefruit, remove the white pith, discard the seeds, and separate the grapefruit segments. Put the grapefruit segments in a blender, blend until smooth with water, then strain through a sieve to extract the juice. Wash the mint leaves and remove the roots.
-
Make the ice cream mixture
Pour 1/3 of the grapefruit juice into a deep pan (or pot), add the mint leaves, and place on the stove to boil. When the grapefruit juice boils, turn off the heat and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes before removing the mint leaves.
Pour the remaining 2/3 of the grapefruit juice and sugar into the pan, stir well, then pour the juice into an ice cream tray.
-
Completion
Place the tray in the freezer for about 20 minutes, then take it out, use a spoon to stir the ice cream to break up the ice, and return it to the freezer. Repeat this process about 2 – 3 times, and the ice cream will be ready to enjoy!
