🧵 EQUIPMENT 🧵
• Colander
• Strainer
🥣 INGREDIENTS 🥣
• 30 g / 0.07 lb dried prunella vulgaris (we get it from Chinese medicinal herb shops)
• 2 1/2 L / 10.6 US cup water
• 30 g / 0.07 lb sweetened wintermelon (we buy it from Asian supermarkets)
• 100 g / 0.22 lb carrot
👩‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS 👨‍🍳
1. Start by washing the prunella vulgaris in a bowl of cold water. Grab two handfuls and squeeze the water out, then put it in a colander. Do this until all the dried herbs are in the colander.
2. Pour the water out and rinse it until clean, then refill with fresh water. Tip the herbs back in and repeat the washing another 2 times. Note: If you find that there is still sand or dirt, keep changing the water and washing until the bowl is clear of impurities.
3. Wash and peel the carrots.
4. Pour the water into a pot and add the washed herbs in. Cut the carrots into 2cm (0.8") chunks and throw them into the pot. Bring it to a boil, then simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes.
5. Add the sweetened wintermelon in and let it boil for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and strain the tea into a teapot.
6. Serve the Chinese Herbal Tea hot as is or put the teapot in the fridge for a few hours to enjoy as a cold beverage!

My grandma and mom definitely uses different herbs. Unfortunately, I don’t know enough Cantonese to figure out what it is 😢😢

It’s good to know that your family looks after you with their version of a herbal tea too! If you describe the plant to me, I can ask Mum and see if she knows it 😁

@@WokandKin that's so kind of you! I would love that! I know one thing she used frequently was something that looked like bark. It actually looked like wood. But it was white?

@WokandKin Жыл бұрын

No worries! I actually might have an idea of what you’re talking about. I remember seeing lots of white bark in various soups growing up. I’ve Googled what they might possibly be, so can you let me know which of these two looks more like it: poria or Chinese yam. After you let me know, I’ll ask Mum for the Chinese name for you!

Hi, Rose! My Grandma or Mum must’ve gotten it decades ago at an Asian bargain shop haha. I’ve tried searching it up for you and have found some when I looked up ‘insulated carafe’, but they’re stainless steel on the outside. You might have better luck sourcing it from an Asian bargain shop if you have any nearby. Hope that helps!
