Рецепт Ginger and Brown Sugar Tea (Chinese Health Tea)
- By Christine's Recipes Prep time: 5 mins
- Cook time: 30 mins
- Yield: 2 to 3 serves
- Ingredients:
- 600 ml water
- 8 slices (about 12 gm) ginger, preferably old ginger
- 2 Tbsp (about 20 gm) dried longan pulp
- 1 Tbsp (about 16 gm) brown sugar, or to taste
Method:
Rinse the ginger and slice. Rinse the longan pulp. Drain well.
Use a heavy based pot. Pour in the water. Add ginger and longan. Cook over medium-high heat. Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the water reduced to 400 ml. Stir in brown sugar and cover. Turn off the heat. Don’t remove the lid. Let it stand for 20 minutes. Done. If the weather is too cold and the tea cools down, you might like to reheat it again. Serve warm.
Notes：
The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your liking.
For the best results, try to get old ginger. You don’t need to peel off the skin.
Dried longan pulp is available at Asian grocers.
