• In a large saucepan combine water, honey, sugar, grapefruit zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks and star anise.
• Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve honey and sugar, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
• Add grapefruit segments and juice and cook at a very gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove fruit with slotted spoon and set aside.
• Bring poaching liquid back to a boil and boil until mixture is reduced to about a cup of syrup.
• Spoon syrup over grapefruit segments and chill for a least an hour before serving.
