Brown Sugar Winter Melon Tea
Overview
Winter melon tea is a drink that uses winter melon and sugar as raw materials and is boiled for a long time to become a soup. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, producing body fluids and quenching thirst, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is an ideal drink for prolonging life. The skin and seeds of winter melon have the effect of clearing away heat and removing internal heat, which is better than the meat of winter melon, so I didn’t remove them and put them in to cook together. In the summer, make a cup of winter melon tea, add ice cubes, and take a sip. It’s so comfortable!
