Ingredients

  • 2 large grapefruits
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large knob of ginger, about 1", thinly sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup honey + more to serve

Instructions

  • Slice grapefruits in half and squeeze out as much juice as you can into a medium-sized pot. If you don't mind quite a bit of bitterness, throw the squeezed out peels into the pot as well. If doing that, add about another cup of water. Add the cinnamon, sliced ginger and water.
  • Bring to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and strain to remove the grapefruit peels, if using, and ginger. Let cool to 95° F (35 °C) or lower and stir in the honey (this is to preserve the benefits from raw honey). You can also just add the concentrate to a mug, add water, which will cool down the tea concentrate, and then add your honey.
  • Store this concentrate in the fridge and add about a 1/4 of the recipe to a large mug and top with hot water. Add more honey as needed and feel better soon!
