Chè Dưỡng Nhan Blendy

50 min Hands-on time + 12 hr soaking or marinating first
EasyDifficulty
5 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Soak the peach resin for 12 hours, changing the water three times. Since the resin expands tenfold, it must be soaked in a large bowl.
  2. 2 Removing all the bark and impurities mixed in with the peach tree sap after the blossoms have opened is the most mandatory and time-consuming step.
  3. 3 Soak the snow fungus separately for 30 minutes; snow fungus expands much faster, so do not soak it together with other foods.
  4. 4 Cook lotus seeds with jujube and pandan leaves for 25 minutes, then add rock sugar.
  5. 5 Add peach resin, snow fungus, and longan to the pot and simmer for 8 minutes. Add goji berries last, then turn off the heat.

With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 35 min

    Replace step 4: cook lotus seeds with jujube and pandan leaves under high pressure for 7 minutes, then quickly release the pressure, and then open the lid to add rock sugar; step 5 continues to simmer peach resin and snow fungus with the lid open for 8 minutes to prevent them from dissolving.
