Chestnuts can be paired with boiled sugar water such as tremella, lotus seeds, red beans, barley, medlar, sweet potatoes and eggs. For example, to make egg chestnut tremella syrup, its main raw materials are tremella, chestnuts, fresh lotus seeds, eggs and rock sugar, which can be stewed for 1-2 hours.

If you use fresh lotus seeds, remember to remove the lotus seed core, otherwise the boiled sugar water may be very bitter.

If you cook sugar water in a saucepan, because the saucepan heats slowly, both the pan and the saucepan should be heated.

Chestnut skin is difficult to remove. You can put chestnuts in boiling water, cover the pot and soak for about 5 minutes.
