Grapefruit Jasmine Green Tea

Published on: 16/8/2023

One of the most high effort recipes, I remember peeling 18 grapefruits and removing all the fibres by hand, extracting just the pulp to make it for RC4’s IG fair. Very refreshing drink though, well worth it.

Ingredients (for 1 person)

• Grapefruit syrup
• 2 Jasmine green tea bags (I used Dilmah’s Jasmine Green Tea)
• 200 mL of hot water

Instructions

1. To make the grapefruit syrup, peel the grapefruits and remove all the fibres, leaving only the pulp. Get a sterilized container (I used hot water to sterilize it) and layer in pulp and sugar like how one would layer a lasagna. I used around 1:1 ratio of pulp to sugar. Leave it in the fridge for a few days, and the sugar will pull out the water from the grapefruit and you will get a thick syrup.
2. Steep the jasmine green tea bags in hot water for around 2 minutes.
3. Add in the grapefruit syrup to taste and enjoy it with ice. I used around 3 tablespoons of syrup.
