Winter melon is a treasure from the inside to the outside, so when making winter melon tea, we not only use the flesh of the winter melon, but also put it in with the seeds. And in the process of cooking, we do not add additional water except for the winter melon and the matching brown sugar and rock sugar, and we use the original juice of the winter melon to cook. The boiled raw juice is kept cool and stored in the refrigerator. When you want to drink winter melon tea, you can just brew it with water, which is very convenient.
