Golden Monk Fruit, Snow Pear and Mai Dong Tea

Why people make this tea

Many people brew monk fruit water when their throat feels uncomfortable — it is sweet and easy to drink, so it is popular. The dark-brown monk fruit is high-temperature roasted and common in herb shops. The golden monk fruit looks prettier and costs a bit more because it is made by low-temperature vacuum dehydration, giving it a cleaner, sweeter taste. When you have dry skin, feel restless and irritable, or have a scratchy throat, Nourilo likes to brew golden monk fruit with snow pear, mai dong, poria and tangerine peel as a tea.

Method

  1. Crush the golden monk fruit.
  2. Core the pear and cut into chunks. Separately soak and rinse the mai dong, poria and tangerine peel.
  3. Boil all ingredients in 2.1 L of water for 40 minutes, reducing to 900 ml. Serve as a tea.

Nourilo’s Tips

When choosing golden monk fruit, pick ones that are golden in color, large, well-shaped and silent when shaken — those are better quality. This tea is clear and moistening, suitable for young and old.
