About this recipe
Grapefruit iced tea is a citrus drink made with black tea, grapefruit, honey, and ice. Grapefruit gives it a tart, slightly bitter flavor, so squeeze the juice gently and avoid squeezing the bitter white pith and membranes. Black tea suits this profile because it provides a stronger base than green tea. This is a good option when you want a fresh, more assertive iced tea that is not overtly sweet.
Ingredients
2 black tea bags
1/2 grapefruit
800 ml water
1 tablespoon honey
ice cubes
Steps
Steep the black tea for 3–4 minutes, remove the tea bags, and set the tea aside to cool.
Peel the grapefruit, or cut it in half and squeeze out the juice, taking care to avoid the seeds and bitter white pith. You can reserve a few thin segments for the pitcher.
Mix the cooled tea with the honey and grapefruit. Refrigerate until thoroughly cold so the citrus flavor blends with the tea. Allow approximately 60–90 minutes for the whole batch to cool and chill. To speed up cooling, place the container in a cold-water bath and stir the tea before refrigerating. Serve only once the base is cold.
Serve with ice cubes. If the grapefruit releases too much bitterness, remove the fruit segments before longer storage.
