Health knowledge made personal
 As we head into 2011, I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. I've never been huge on resolutions, but I hope to keep this blog a continuous inspiration to me as well as all of you. I know it's kind of last minute, but if you need a great non-alcoholic drink (or possibly a great hang-over drink) try this spiced up grapefruit juice. It has all the spice of the holiday season with a special citrus note for the start of a new year.   I squeezed as much juice out of the grapefruit as I could with my hands. If you have a juicer on hand it might make this process easier and less messy. I served it cold, but I actually liked it slightly warm from the stove as well. You can use a couple of cinnamon sticks in place of the ground cinnamon if you don't want to worry about the settling. Spiced Grapefruit Juiceserves 4 2 grapefruits4 cups water4-6 tablespoons raw honey1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon clovespinch of nutmeg Place a fine meshed strainer over a medium saucepan. Slice each grapefruit in half and squeeze the juice into the saucepan. Stir in honey, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg and heat over medium low, until just warmed through and the honey has a chance to thin out and blend in. Serve slightly warm or let sit in the refrigerator a couple of hours, or until cold, just make sure to give it a good stir before serving because things will settle. |
