Try this Chinese way of quenching your thirst by making winter melon tea by simply simmering winter melon with tons of sugar for a sweet cooling drink.
Ingredients
- 3.5 lb winter melon meat, rinded and seeded, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions
-
Mix winter melon with brown sugar in a soup pot. Set aside for about 1 hour, until some liquid has formed.

Add rock sugar and mix. Place the pot on the stovetop, turn on the heat, and bring to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 2 hours until the winter melon is completely transparent.
