# How to Make Winter Melon Tea
Winter melon tea is a refreshing traditional beverage. Beginners typically need 4 to 5 hours to complete it.
Estimated Cooking Difficulty: ★★
## Essential Ingredients and Tools
- Winter melon
- Rock sugar
- Plastic wrap
- Strainer
- Large pot
## Calculations
Before each preparation, determine how many servings you want to make. One serving is exactly enough for 45 people.
Per serving:
- Winter melon: 1000g
- Rock sugar: 300g
## Instructions
1. **Prepare the winter melon**: Peel the winter melon, remove the seeds, and cut it into small pieces (no larger than 4cm per piece).
2. **Add rock sugar**: Mix the winter melon with the rock sugar until well combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. **Cook the winter melon**: The winter melon will have released a lot of water. Pour it into a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer slowly for 12 hours. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
4. **Strain the winter melon tea**: Use a strainer to filter the cooked winter melon tea liquid, removing the melon pieces and keeping only the liquid.
5. **Cool down**: Let the winter melon tea liquid cool, then pour it into a clean container and refrigerate.
6. **Serve**: The prepared winter melon tea liquid is a concentrate. Add water or other beverages according to your preference. It can be enjoyed hot or cold.
## Additional Notes
- **Taste adjustment**: The amount of rock sugar can be adjusted to achieve your preferred level of sweetness.
- **Storage method**: Store in the refrigerator. It is recommended to consume within 1 week.
