Healthy and traditionally winter melon tea. Perfect iced drink for summer. This winter melon syrup can also be added into milk tea to make a new form of winter melon milk tea.
Cut the winter melon into small chunks (There is no need to remove the skins and seeds). Mix with brown sugar and set aside for 1 hour. Then we will get the basic liquid so there is no need to add extra water.
Then transfer the winter melon cubes along with the water to a pot, add rock sugar .Use high fire to bring everthing to a boiling. Stir from time to time at the first stage to avoid burning. Then slow down the fire and cook for around 40 minutes.
Then strain the liquid out. Remember to press the softened winter melon so you can get as much liquid as possible.
