Grapefruit Tea

Description: This is a recipe from Body & Soul Magazine. My Mom made it for me when I wasn't feeling well. At first sip, I didn't care for it, but by the end of the glass I loved it! Others who have tried it have said the same, at first you wonder; but then it's great. The article said that red/pink grapefruits are high in lycopene and vitamins A and C. They also offer potassium and folate.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups ruby red grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 grapefruits)
• 2 tablespoons honey (may add more to taste)
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/2 teaspoon allspice berry
• 1/2 cup water

Steps:

1. In an medium pot, combine juice, honey cinnamon, allspice and water.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat; strain and discard solids.
3. Note - When I strained it, I tried to get as much as pulp pushed through the strainer as possible.
