Cook Ginseng Sweet Soup
Put 1.5 liters of water into a pot and bring it to a boil over high heat, then add the crushed monk fruit, reduce the heat, and cook for about 10 – 15 minutes.
When the water turns light brown, remove all the monk fruit residue, add 100g of rock sugar, and stir well until the sugar completely dissolves.
Tip: Since monk fruit is already sweet, you only need to add a little sugar according to your taste.Once the sugar has dissolved, add all the red dates, raisins, and longan to the pot, and cook for another 5 – 10 minutes over medium heat until the ingredients are soft, then adjust the ingredients to your liking before turning off the heat.
Tip: Avoid cooking the red dates, raisins, and longan for too long as it will make them mushy and lose their natural sweetness.After cooking, you can enjoy it hot or let it cool, adding ice cubes makes it very delicious as well.
