Hong dou tang is a Chinese sweet drink served hot, made by boiling red beans and dried longan with cinnamon and sweetening them with rock sugar. The longan's gentle honey aroma balances the earthy flavor of the beans and gives the drink depth.
Drain and rinse the red beans.
Bring the water, cinnamon stick and dried longan to a boil, then cook over low heat for 8 minutes.
Add the red beans and boil for another 10 minutes, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Add the rock sugar and stir to dissolve. Remove the cinnamon stick and serve hot.
Stir without crushing the red beans, or the drink will turn cloudy. Add the rock sugar at the end; adding it too early can slow the softening of the beans.
Fasulyeyi 10 dakika yerine 15 dakika kaynattım çünkü tenceremde biraz fazla su vardı, sonunda kıvam tarifteki kadar koyu olmadı ama tat yine de gayet güzeldi.
İçecek bana fazla tatlı geldi, kaya şekeri miktarı benim damak tadıma göre biraz yüksekti. Yine de fasulyenin kıvamı gayet güzeldi, bir dahaki sefere şekeri azaltacağım.
