We have been having very hot weather and that calls for a cooling drink. So I made lor hon guo sweet soup as recommended by my friend Josephine. Taken hot or put in some ice and you get a refreshing drink. The lor hon guo cost about RM1.20 each for a small one whereas a big one would cost about RM3.00. The lor hon guo is usually sweet (if you are unlucky you get a bitter one!). All the ingredients can be purchased from the Chinese pharmacy shop.
Ingredients:2 small lor hon guo - wash and break into 2
a bunch of kum cho
5 candied dates (mud choe)
10 red dates
2.5 litres water
1) Put all ingredients into the slow cooker and boil for 6 hours. I did not have to add any extra sugar.
( Add sugar if you find it not sweet enough).
Note: You can also add in dried longan to this soup.
