Anyone with a Taiwanese Winter Melon Tea recipe?

We Answered:

as far as I know about the wintermelon tea(I grew up drinking it in the summer), it is a rather complicated process to make the tea-sugar brick that you use to make the tea. You might want to just go to a big asian market and get the brick to dissolve at home or get it canned/bottled.

HONEYDEW JAM
3 cups honeydew melon pieces
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped candied ginger
Combine in a pan the melon pieces, sugar, lemon juice and candied ginger. Let stand until a syrup forms (about 2 hours). Bring to a boil and boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently
until mixture is thickened and the melon is translucent (about 45 minutes). Pour into hot, sterilized jars (see following directions for sterilization instructions). Keep in refrigerator for up to four weeks; in freezer for up to
six months. Yield: 4 half-pints.

STERILIZATION OF EMPTY JARS
To sterilize empty jars, place them right side up on the rack in a boiling-water canner. Fill the canner and jars with hot (not boiling) water to 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 feet. At higher elevations, boil 1 additional minute for
each additional 1,000 feet elevation. Remove and drain hot sterilized jars one at a time as filled.
