1.

The first thing is to boil the water. The amount of water to boil depends on the amount of rice you make. Generally, one bowl of rice and one bowl of water (the size of a rice bowl) is enough. If the water increases, the sugar and starch will also increase, otherwise the soup will not be thick enough.

2.

Then add sugar to the water. When adding the sugar to the water, stir while adding it until the sugar is completely dissolved. You can taste the sugar water after the sugar has boiled (be careful how hot it is) and add sugar appropriately according to your taste.

3.

You can blend starch during the process of boiling sugar water. Mix two full spoonfuls of starch and one spoonful of water evenly, then pour it into the boiled sugar water and continue cooking. Generally, the mass ratio of water:sugar:starch is 6:4:1.

4.

When the sugar juice continues to cook, you can add appropriate orange juice according to your own taste. The sour orange juice will perfectly combine with the sugar water to make the eight-treasure soup juice Sweet but not greasy, of course those who like sweets can skip it.
