Ingredients:

600-700gm     Winter Melon.
300gm             Rock Sugar. (Sugar Cane)
5 litre               Water.

Methods:

1.            Heat a pot filled with 5 litres of water.
2.            Wash the winter melon clean. (Especially the layer of powder-waxy skin
               outside.)



3.            Cut open & scraped off the seeds. Then cut into pieces randomly.


4.            Put all the melon pieces into the pot and let boil for 15-20 mins. Then lower
               the heat.
5.            Add in rock sugar, stir every 2-3 mins untill the sugar dissolved, but still have
               to continue to boil in low heat for about 1 1/2-2 hrs.
              If water is lesser, can add back a little.
6.           Turn off heat, take out cooked melon and scoop out the flesh and can eat as
              you drink.



Note :

           If the drink cannot be finished the same day, it can be kept in the fridge for the
           next day.
           Remember Do Not Keep More Than 3 Days, because it will go stale.
