This winter melon tea is easy to make and tastes great. I usually make a big pot at a time and put it in the refrigerator. If I want to drink it, I will take it out of the refrigerator and mix it with water to get the sweetness I want. I can drink it if I want ~
Prepare these two materials: 400g wax gourd (with seeds) and 250g brown sugar.
Wash 400 grams of wax gourd, be sure to clean the mud and hair on the surface, cut into small dices, and pay attention to preserve the skin and seeds of wax gourd. Both of them have better heat-clearing and detoxification effects than wax gourd meat, and will be filtered out in the end, so don't worry about drinking them.
Add 250 grams of brown sugar, stir well, and leave it for more than 2 hours.
After soaking the wax gourd in plenty of water, gently mix it with chopsticks and put the juice into the pot.
Turn the big fire to a small one and keep it slightly boiling. In the process of cooking, remember to keep stirring with a scraper to avoid burning the pot.
Until the sugar juice thickens and the wax gourd meat becomes transparent, you can leave the fire.
Filter the boiled winter melon tea with a sieve or gauze, gently press it and squeeze out the essence. After cooling the puree, put it in a clean glass bottle and seal it, and then put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration. It is recommended to drink it in two weeks ~
Dilute with warm water or ice water when drinking, which can be adjusted according to your own taste.
