冬瓜茶 (Wintermelon Tea)

Wintermelon Tea beverage from "两角银冬瓜茶".

 

Wintermelon Tea is quite a Taiwanese brew. One simply cook candied wintermelon in water to brew out that earthy caramelised sweet taste. Once cooled, it is a lovely refreshing drink for any hot day!

 

Here, this stall goes one stop further. They actually charcoal roast/toast the candied wintermelon, imparting to it, this phenolic smoky aroma and taste, that surprisingly made the beverage even more robust.

 

I was like "Woah!!". I have never drunk wintermelon drink so perfect!
