Waterchestnut with Lotus Roots Drink
马蹄莲藕水



My father taught me how to make this drink during my *ahem* younger days. Nothing I tried outside come close to this. Although, he insisted on leaving the skin of the waterchestnut and lotus roots on, I preferred to skin them. I hate it. So time consuming. No choice. Have the urge to drink so gotta do it.

Ingredients:
  • Waterchestnuts: skinned
  • 2 Canes; chopped into sections
  • 1 small section of Lotus roots; skinned and sliced
  • Rock sugar to taste
How to do it:
  1. Put all ingredients except rock sugar into a pot of water.
  2. When the water starts to boil, turn to low fire and brew for 3 hours.
  3. Add rock sugar to taste.
  4. Serve when cooled.
Note:
If you preferred the normal waterchestnut and cane, don’t add lotus root. But then you will miss the essence of this drink.
