Hong Dou Tang | Chinese Red Bean and Longan Sweet Drink
Hong Dou Tang is a warm Chinese sweet drink made by simmering red beans and dried longan with cinnamon, then sweetening it with rock sugar. The longan's faint honeyed aroma balances the earthy flavour of the beans, adding depth to the drink.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Bring the water to a boil
8 minBring the water, cinnamon stick and dried longan to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 8 minutes.
3
Add the beans
10 minAdd the red beans and simmer for 10 more minutes; the mixture should thicken slightly.
4
Sweeten and serve
2 minStir in the rock sugar until dissolved, remove the cinnamon stick, and serve warm.
Reminder
Stir the red beans gently without mashing them, or the drink will turn cloudy. Add the rock sugar at the very end — adding it too early can slow down how quickly the beans soften.
Editor's Note Editörün Notu
If you cannot find dried longan, dried apricot gives a similar sweetness and texture; the aroma will be a bit different but the drink still stays balanced.

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.
