In the dry and changeable weather of autumn and winter, it is not only easy to catch a cold, but also easy to get a fever. So what should we do when we get a fever in winter? I recommend a drink to reduce fever - Honey Pomelo Tea. This tea not only reduces fever and prevents colds, but also has the benefits of whitening, removing spots, and nourishing the skin. Let's take a look at the recipe, benefits, and effects of Honey Pomelo Tea together!
Recipe for Honey Pomelo Tea
Ingredients: 1. Pomelo; 2. Rock sugar; 3. Honey (preferably locust honey); 4. Edible salt.
Instructions:
1. Soak the pomelo in hot water for about 10 minutes. Pomelo usually has a layer of wax on the surface to make it look more appealing, so we need to gently rub the pomelo with edible salt to make the surface cleaner. The pomelo peel is also important in the making process.
2. Peel off the pomelo peel and scrape off the white pith inside. It's best to use a knife to scrape it slowly and thinly to reduce bitterness.
3. Cut the scraped pomelo peel into thin strips. The thinner, the better! This is to ensure the texture of the final product.
4. Remove the thin membrane and seeds from the pomelo segments, then peel them into small pieces. They don't need to be peeled too finely because they will naturally separate during the cooking process.
5. Now you can start cooking. First, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar. After it melts, add the cut pomelo peel and cook for about 10 minutes to allow it to fully absorb the sweetness of the rock sugar water.
6. When the pomelo peel becomes translucent, you can add the pomelo segments.
7. Slowly reduce the heat from high to low.
8. After about half an hour, the color of the pomelo tea will change from white to yellow.
9. Keep cooking until the liquid is almost dried up, then turn off the heat. At this point, the pomelo tea will turn into a deep yellow color.
10. Let the pomelo tea cool down before adding honey. Bottle it up and it's done!
It's important to cool down the pomelo tea before adding honey, as it can preserve the nutritional value of the honey.
Benefits and Effects of Honey Pomelo Tea
Pomelo:
Pomelo has a sweet and sour taste and a cold nature. It has the effects of promoting digestion, resolving phlegm, moisturizing the lungs, and regulating the intestines. It can treat symptoms such as poor appetite, bland taste, and indigestion. It also helps with digestion, relieves thirst, and promotes qi circulation. Pomelo peel is a high-quality ingredient for clearing heat and removing oiliness, and long-term consumption can also have a beautifying effect.
Honey:
As we all know, natural honey has a laxative effect. For people who often suffer from constipation and acne, taking honey pomelo tea can effectively improve these symptoms. By persistently consuming honey pomelo tea for 3 months, you can achieve the goal of "changing your constitution".
Honey Pomelo Tea:
Honey pomelo tea combines these two benefits perfectly. Regular consumption can reduce heat, relieve fever, and improve skin complexion. It is especially suitable for white-collar women who face computer radiation every day and suffer from damaged skin and dull complexion.
In Japan and Korea, honey pomelo tea has always been called "the root of black melanin eradication". The root cause of pigmentation lies deep in the skin. To completely eliminate dark spots, the factors that cause cells to darken must be eliminated. If vitamin C and L-cysteine can work together, they can penetrate deep into the skin and whiten the cells, thereby achieving the goal of whitening and removing spots at a fundamental level.
