For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of ginger or a sprig of mint during the lemon zest infusion. Adjust the amount of honey to your preference, keeping in mind the natural sweetness of the grapefruit. If you don't have fresh grapefruit juice on hand, orange juice can be substituted, although the flavor profile will be slightly different. Use high-quality green tea powder for the best flavor and health benefits.
