GRAPEFRUIT TEA COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
• Mix 1 1/2 teaspoon of grapefruit juice into milk in a small bowl, and set aside for about 5 minutes.

• Fold egg mixture into flour mixture until just moistened and no lumps remain. Fold in crystallized ginger and chopped pecans. Transfer to prepared loaf pan and bake 55-60 minutes, or until deep brown around edges and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 hour on wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely.
• To make glaze: whisk together confectioner's sugar and 1 T grapefruit juice in a small bowl. Stir in additional 1/2 t juice to achieve thick, but pourable consistency. Add another 1/2 t juice drop by drop, if necessary.
• Place foil beneath wire rack to catch drips. Turn loaf upside down so that flat side is up. Drizzle glaze over loaf. Allow glaze to set before slicing.

GREEN TEA WITH GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Pour 150ml cold water into a large heatproof jug then top up with 450ml boiling water. Add the tea leaves and leave to steep for 2 mins.
• Meanwhile, fill your teapot with boiling water to warm it. Once the tea has steeped, pour away the water in the teapot then add the grapefruit and rosemary. Strain the green tea into the teapot, leaving the tea leaves behind. Don't throw the leaves away - you can re-brew them again for another pot that same day. (For the second brew, make sure you let the mixture steep for 3-4 mins.)
• Let the grapefruit and rosemary infuse for a few moments, then serve. Add honey or agave syrup to sweeten if you like.

Steps:

• Place the 4 1/2 cups of water and tea bags into a clean pan or pot; bring it to a boil. Remove from heat and allow tea to steep for about 5 minutes and remove tea bags. Longer will result in bitter tea. Allow to cool to room temperature.

GRAPEFRUIT TEA

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.
