Homemade Winter Melon Tea (Reduced Sugar Version)

I bought a huge winter melon and decided to use half of it to make winter melon tea. Online recipes for this concentrated winter melon syrup usually call for a lot of sugar, which makes sense since it's concentrated and meant to be diluted with water. However, I wanted more winter melon flavor and less sugar, so it's safer for my kids to drink. I used about half the sugar of a typical recipe. I saw a standard ratio of winter melon: brown sugar (or rock sugar): black sugar = 4:3:1. If you want to try the non-reduced sugar version, you can follow that ratio. I really like this reduced sugar version; the winter melon flavor is light and refreshing, especially with a touch of lemon!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Peel and seed the winter melon, then cut it into pieces.
- 2
Blend into a puree using a blender or food processor. If it's hard to blend, add a little water; I added 1 tablespoon.
- 3
Mix in all the sugar until well combined.
- 4
Place in a rice cooker with 2 cups of water in the outer pot and cook until done.
- 5
After cooling, store in the refrigerator. It's best to consume within a week. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays. Before drinking, dilute with water to taste and add a little lemon juice for extra flavor!
