flavor notes sweet, aromatic, rich

Winter Melon fruit from Taiwan is cooked with natural cane sugar from local sources to create this sweet and non-caffeinated herbal tea option called Dong Gua Tang, which is typically served over ice. The inclusion of Winter Melon gives this sweet tea a bright, fresh flavor, akin to cucumbers. Our Winter Melon Sugar is sold in 1lb. blocks (454g).


1g	per	1ml	at a	simmer	until	dissolved

Preparing Winter Melon Sugar is easy. Simply dissolve equal parts sugar and water to create a simple syrup, then add to any number of beverages (tea or otherwise) for a touch of sweetness; a little goes a long way! The dry sugar can also be used to substitute brown sugar in cooking or baking.
