Pumpkin and sweet potato syrup

Ingredients: pumpkin, sweet potato, pure milk, white sugar, (coconut milk is optional)

Detailed instructions

< p>1. Prepare two sweet potatoes and one pumpkin, clean them, peel off their skins, then cut them into small pieces and put them on a plate for later use. It’s best to cut sweet potatoes and pumpkins into small pieces so they are easier to cook and take less time. If you want something a little pinker, you can replace the sweet potato with taro.

2. Take a casserole, first pour the cut sweet potatoes into it, then add water to cover the sweet potatoes, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Cook the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Don't put the pumpkin in yet, because it rots easily, so putting it in too early won't work.

After 3.10 minutes, open the lid of the pot, pour the prepared pumpkin in, turn the pumpkin slightly, cover the pot, and continue to cook on low heat for about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, open the lid of the pot, stir it, add a box of pure milk, and then add an appropriate amount of white sugar. The amount of white sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste. If you want a stronger flavor, you can add a little coconut milk. Coconut milk can make the flavor of the sugar water stronger and more delicious.

4. After adding pure milk and white sugar, turn to medium heat and bring the sugar water to a boil. Remember to stir more in the middle to prevent burning. After it boils, you can turn off the heat and take out the pot. You can eat it after it comes out of the pot. If you want to eat it iced, let it cool down and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. The taste will be better, especially if you have a bowl in the summer, it feels really good. .
