Ingredients
- Water
- 2 liters
- Rock Sugar
- 200g
- Winter Melon
- 1kg, peeled and deseeded
Instructions
- Start by preparing the winter melon. After peeling and deseeding, cut it into small cubes of about 1 cm each.
- In a large pot, combine the cubed winter melon, rock sugar, and water.
- Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, allowing the mixture to simmer gently.
- Continue simmering for about 1 hour. During this time, the winter melon will dissolve completely, and the rock sugar will melt, sweetening the tea.
- After an hour, strain the mixture to remove any solids, pouring the tea into a pitcher or individual glasses.
- You can serve this tea warm, providing a soothing experience, or chill it in the refrigerator and serve over ice for a refreshing summer beverage.
