Autumn nourishes yin and moisturizes the lungs—grapefruit peel candy
Overview
There are various methods on the Internet, from which I found my own method. As long as the grapefruit peel is not bitter, half of the success will be achieved. Grapefruit peel candy is a delicacy that has the effects of resolving phlegm, moistening the throat, relieving cough, strengthening the spleen, clearing fire, regulating qi, and lowering lipids.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the grapefruit (I picked it from a tree in the countryside, just wash off the sand. If it is a grapefruit bought from outside, remember to rub it vigorously with salt to wash off the wax)
-
Use a spatula to scrape the skin, only the green part, not the white part.
-
Soak it in freshly boiled water, cover it, and squeeze out the water after it cools down. Soak in boiling water a second time. After the water is cold, squeeze out the water, soak it in tap water and wash it three times again until there is no more yellow water.
-
Squeeze the dried grapefruit peel and add 50 grams of rock sugar.
-
Add 200 grams of water and cover. Bring to a boil and turn to medium heat. (Don’t leave. If you don’t pay attention, the water will boil and become mushy. I will make a mistake. I will shed tears.)
-
When the water is almost dry, open the lid and stir with chopsticks until the rock sugar water in the pot is boiled dry. (Put rock sugar water on the grapefruit peel to make it crystal clear and beautiful. The grapefruit peel at this time can be eaten by smaller children to relieve cough and reduce phlegm)
-
Line a tray with tin foil and sprinkle with a little sugar.
-
Spread the grapefruit peels piece by piece on the tray. You can do it slowly or wait for a while, because the grapefruit peels will be a little hot when they come out of the pot and will melt the white sugar. Then sprinkle with white sugar and mix evenly.
-
Pour into a bowl, close the lid and eat as you go.
