The pomelo is usually sealed on skin with a layer of wax to keep it looking pretty, so use salt to rub grapefruit gently and then wash it off.

The first layer of grapefruit is grapefruit peel, which is essence of grapefruit to eliminate phlegm and relieve coughs, and then white pulp between grapefruit peel and grapefruit pulp, which is bitterest part of grapefruit.
With a knife, scrape off as much of white pulp inside as possible, and cut thinly sliced pomelo peel into thin slices, thinner better.
Scrub crushed pomelo skin vigorously with salt to remove bitterness, then rinse with water. This step can be repeated two or three times. Soak crushed pomelo rinds in clean water. Add some salt to water to remove bitterness. The soaking time should be longer and it can be soaked overnight.
Put soaked chopped pomelo peel in clean water and boil for about 10 minutes. When cooking, add a little salt to remove bitterness. Finally, rinse crushed grapefruit with clean water and drain.
Peel flesh of grapefruit and tear it into pieces.
Place pomelo meat and chopped pomelo skin into a clean, oil-free saucepan, add water and sugar, and cook over medium heat.
