Tangerine Peel Slab Sugar Water | Warming After-Meal Drink

Tangerine peel slab sugar water, warming and digestive

Tangerine peel slab sugar water is a Cantonese after-meal drink. A slice of aged tangerine peel, a piece of Ship Brand Golden Slab Sugar, a pot of water, simmered together until the kitchen smells of citrus and caramel.

The peel does the digestive work. The slab sugar carries it. White sugar would give sweetness without depth; Ship Brand slab sugar gives the kind of round caramel note that makes the peel sing.
