GRAPEFRUIT TEA COOKIES



Grapefruit Tea Cookies image

My mother originally made these in her culinary arts class in high school in 1975 and they were made with lemon. I love the lemon but I wanted to make these and realized I didn't have any lemons so I used what I did have, grapefruit. They turned out wonderful! I bet they would be good made with oranges too. The glaze is different from your regular iced cookie with the granulated sugar giving a nice texture on top. Yummy!

GRAPEFRUIT TEA



Grapefruit Tea image

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.

GRAPEFRUIT TEA



Grapefruit Tea image

A nice summery drink for people who like iced tea and citrus juice. It dulls down the bitter tang of the grapefruit a bit and gives you that nice fresh taste that tea-lovers crave.

Time 10m

Yield 8 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 cups grapefruit juice
4 orange pekoe tea bags

Steps:

  • Drop the teabags into the cold grapefruit juice and let steep for a minimum of 10 minutes, stirring often. The longer it steeps, the more tea flavour it will have.
  • If desired, dilute with some water, tonic water, club soda, sprite, or 7-Up, for a less-intense flavour.
