Ingredients

2 1/2 ounces dried Chinese Hawthorn berries ((70g))
6 cups water ((1.4L))
1/4 cup sugar ((50g))

Cuisine

Chinese

Steps

Add the dried hawthorn and water to a medium pot. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Turn the heat off, and add the sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Allow to cool completely, and then strain in a fine-meshed sieve and serve with ice. If the tea is too tart for your taste, sweeten to taste with honey, which dissolves more easily than sugar.

Made this today, so simple and surprisingly refreshing! I didn't add any honey because it was perfect! And the smell reminded me of my childhood favourite haw flakes :) One question, can you do anything with the leftover hawthorn after it's been cooked? Just seems wasteful to throw away! Thanks!
