    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2013   If you do choose to use bottled juice, make sure you get juice that IS NOT FROM CONCENTRATE! Simply Orange and Minute Maid Pure Squeezed are two lines available in grocery stores in our area that carry Grapefruit juice not from concentrate. If your store doesn't carry it, you can always ask them to order some for you.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/08/2013   If you happen to live near a Whole Foods Market or a Stew Leonard's, you can buy bottled fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in their produce department for about $7. Cheaper than juicing whole grapefruits, but you still get all the health benefits of non processed, raw grapefruit juice.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/02/2012   I really like this recipe, so I made it again tonight to go along with the Whole Living Challenge, but this time I used bottled juice since it was only about $3 at the store (grapefruit were $1 ea.); it was much less work and mess than doing the tea from scratch. The taste is excellent again, though I'll always stick to 4 tbsp. honey to counter the bite. I'm not sure if all the same good nutrients are still in the bottled version (no pulp), but what I bought wasn't from concentrate.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/23/2011   Has anyone tried bottled grapefruit juice instead of fresh?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/02/2011   I tried this, not only did it taste great, it also mad me feel great. Very good drink for the cold winters  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/05/2011   Honey is very good for you and worth the calories it contains. For added health benefits, use raw honey.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/17/2011   I didn't have whole allspice or cinnamon, but it turned out good. The honey caramelizes a bit and gives it a good flavor, though grapefruit is naturally rather harsh/bitter.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/07/2011   Do not have grapefruit if on cholesterol meds  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/13/2010   Splenda is bad for you. Use stevia instead.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/25/2010   Those worried about the honey adding too many calories could try stevia instead.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/07/2009   I would think the honey would add too many calories to the tea. Will try splenda instead!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/06/2009   Where's the nutritional information? How many calories? How many carbs? Please include this with the recipes.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/20/2009   This is SO good! I made it with just regular grapefruits and it is still delicious. I made it for my husband (who has a cold) and I last night, and it was so good we're having it again tonight!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/07/2009   I really enjoyed this, but I must not have let it steep long enough to taste much of the spices. I will drink this again  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/23/2009   This is DELICIOUS!! Reminds me of wassil.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/22/2009   Actually you can call it tea, doesn't have to have tea leaves, only spices and other organic matter, such as juice  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/19/2009   This looks like a wonderful warm drink but where is the tea? You can't call this tea without some kind of tea leaves in it. It would be wonderful with some green or white tea, and very healthy too.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/09/2008   I could hardly wait to make this ... It is delicious .. I served it Hot and cooled over ice .. Both ways work very well --- Its soooooo refreshing ... Thankyou Martha - another winner. I now have a tea for summer and winter . I live in AZ and we have grapefruits all year long.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/09/2008   You should be able to find the allspice in the regular spice section ot the supermarket. They are probably labeled "Whole Allspice".  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/31/2008   Wouldn't it be good iced?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/02/2008   surprisingly i found them at a wal-mart supercenter:)  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/27/2008   where can you find the allspice berries?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/05/2008   Very soothing and delicious! Another way to get a little more fruit into my daughters daily diets.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/04/2008   Excellent tea to relax and enjoy!

It slows the metabolism of the estrogen in the women's body, thus keeping the estrogen levels higher for some time. This does not reduce effectiveness of birth control. There are numerous articles available online, written by MD's and pharmacists, stating this fact. No need to worry! But do avoid grapefruit with certain cholesterol meds, as it will decrease their efficacy.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/16/2008   VERY GOOD ! I did not have allspice so I used cloves and I used a little Splenda instead of honey. Most excellent ! I never eat grapefruitls but now they will be on my weekly shopping list.
