Grapefruit Tea
"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."

delicious! I squeezed a honeybell tangelo with it too! -
This is nice. Made it twice, once with sugar and once with Splenda. Both were about the same, so I will stick with Splenda. Thank you for posting this recipe -
Thanks for posting this recipe! I enjoy grapefruit, & I can say for certain that you have a nice tasting drink here! Did make it twice, & the 2nd time around I added a cup of LIGHTLY brewed green tea, just enough to get the tea taste, & that, too, was good!
