How to Make Sea Coconut, Monk Fruit & Longan Tea

Step 1: Add the ingredients

Place sea coconut, monk fruit, longan, and red dates into a pot.

Step 2: Add water

Pour in enough water to fully cover all ingredients. This allows the herbal components to release their essence evenly.

Step 3: Simmer gently

Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Allow the tea to simmer gently so the flavors develop slowly without becoming harsh.

Step 4: Sweeten with Golden Slab Sugar

After about 15 minutes, add Ship Brand Golden Slab Sugar (冰片糖) to taste. Stir until fully dissolved. The sugar softens the herbal notes while keeping the tea light and clear.

Step 5: Rest and serve

Turn off the heat and let the tea rest briefly before serving warm. The tea will continue to deepen in flavor as it sits.

Why Golden Slab Sugar Is Used in Herbal Tea

Golden Slab Sugar (冰片糖) has long been preferred in traditional herbal preparations because it is:

• Mild and clean in sweetness

• Slow-melting and evenly distributed

• Less overpowering than granulated sugar

• Ideal for teas, soups, and wellness drinks

For this recipe, it allows the herbal ingredients to shine while delivering a smooth, comforting finish.
