I made this and went to the effort of buying organic lemons and grapefruit to avoid pesticide contaminated fruit skin...
...and the result tasted horrific with an aftertaste that got worse and worse.
It was a waking nightmare.
I wasn't expecting it to taste nice and I'm not a princess about such things, however it simply wasn't edible no matter how much I tried to water it down. I felt ashamed, but literally couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't consume it.
So I threw it away and bought three tubes of horse paste for $12.
All fruit...ALL, organic or otherwise has to be washed with soap and rinsed well before use, especially if using the skin/rind/peel, etc. There is always some form of pesticide or contaminant on anything bought in a store, regardless of what is said by the FDA, etc. on classification of “Organic“.
When I made it from the American Frontline Doctor‘s recipe a couple of weeks ago, it didn‘t taste bad. Quite nice, actually. However, I don‘t shy away from bitter tastes, as the bitter foods are EXCELLENT for digestion. It tasted a bit like marmalade I make, but without the sugar and orange, and my marmalade is fantastic. It tastes a hell of a lot better than Buckley‘s! If it works, then why quibble over a second or two of unpleasant taste? Better than taking a death shot. Smell and taste always disappear and/or diminish when nasal passages are clogged, so maybe that helps those that really dislike the bitter taste.

Just my opinion.
Some people added sugar or honey to help with the flavor., Sorry for that. I hope you're feeling better now
