Recipe basics

Ingredients

Yield: 2 bowls | Prep: 10 min | Total: 45 min

  • 1 small handful dried tremella mushroom
  • 1/4 cup lotus seed
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 to 2 jujubes, optional
  • A very small amount of rock sugar or leave unsweetened

Step by step

How to make it

  1. Rinse and soak the tremella briefly, then tear it into smaller pieces.
  2. Rinse the lotus seed and add it to a pot with the water first.
  3. Once the lotus seed starts to soften, add the tremella and optional jujubes.
  4. Simmer gently until the bowl feels soft and lightly thickened.
  5. Sweeten only very lightly if needed and serve warm.

Serving notes

Keep it simple

  • A mild sweetness keeps the page feeling practical rather than dessert-heavy.
  • This works best as a soft household-style bowl, not a tonic-style promise.

Caution

Read this recipe in context

  • Gentle evening or nourishment language here belongs to traditional food context, not personal guidance.
