*Grapefruit oleic acid:
Combine zests from 10 grapefruits and add 2 pounds of sugar (this is best done with a sealable plastic bag or vacuum bag). Let rest for 24-48 hours until all the oils are removed from the zests. Next, mix 2.5 oz malic acid with 1 liter of water until dissolved. Add the resulting malic acid solution to the grapefruit oleo acid. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved and then strain out the zests.
**Black tea syrup:
Steep 10 tea bags in 1 liter of hot water for approximately 5-8 minutes. Remove the tea bags and add 1 pound of sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
