How to choose fresh, delicious grapefruit
- You should choose ripe grapefruits that have bright skin, are firm and plump, with large thorns and no spots or unusual colors.
- Prioritize selecting grapefruits with fresh stems, taut skin, evenly round fruit without deformities, and feel heavy when lifted.
- Good grapefruits make a “bop bop” sound when you tap them, indicating they are solid and not hollow inside.
What is rock sugar?
- Rock sugar is a type of sugar in solid crystalline form made from sugarcane juice, beetroot, and some other ingredients.
- Rock sugar has a mild sweet taste, cooling properties, and helps to relieve heat, so it is often used as a seasoning in cooking and drink preparation,…
- In addition, rock sugar also has effects that support the treatment of certain diseases and is very good for human health.
How to make honey pomelo syrup
-
Clean the pomelo peel
To remove all dust, dirt, and any remaining toxins on the pomelo peel, you should place the pomelo under running water, scrub the peel thoroughly, and rinse the pomelo well.
Then, let the pomelo dry completely or absorb any remaining water on the peel.

Chop the grapefruit peel and separate the grapefruit segments
To easily peel, cut off the cap of the grapefruit stalk, then make a vertical cut along the body of the fruit about every 2 – 3 finger joints.
Use your hands to peel off the skin. For the peel, cut away the white pith and keep the grapefruit peel. You can use this pith to cook grapefruit sweet soup. For the segments inside, separate the fruit flesh.
Cut the grapefruit peel into strips and soak the grapefruit peel in a diluted saltwater solution for 30 minutes, then remove and let it drain.

Grapefruit simmered with rock sugar
Put a pot on the stove, add about 1 liter of water and heat it up. Add 300g of rock sugar, stirring continuously while heating until the sugar dissolves.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the grapefruit peel and 5 pandan leaves, cover with a lid, and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes, until the grapefruit peel turns a yellowish green and becomes translucent. At this point, remove the pandan leaves.
Add the grapefruit flesh, reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 1 hour.
After that, uncover and start boiling the mixture until it thickens and the grapefruit simmer turns light brown, then turn off the heat.

Final product
The grapefruit honey syrup has a sweet and sour taste with a slight bitterness from the rind and grapefruit segments, and it is very effective for relieving cold symptoms. Especially during this epidemic season, this is a great “weapon” for you.
When using, take about 1 tablespoon, mix it with 1 liter of hot water, and drink it like tea!
