Easy To Prepare

No added sweetening required.








Luohan guo (Medicine term as Siraitia grosvenorii), in Chinese, 罗汉果, is a natural sweet fruit which often used as medicinal herbs by Chinese physician.

Luohan guo made into form of beverages, especially herbal tea, commonly sold in many Chinese herbal shops in Singapore. We do not usually use the raw green fruit to cook herbal tea, but get the dried one which has turned into dark brown fruit with hard thin shell. This low-caloric ‘fruit of medicine’ helps to detoxify body, and hence, some even claimed for its slimming effect, if consume it on regular basis. I drink it regularly mainly to maintain general health so as to eliminate summer heat in the body which may lead to feverish illnesses.

Cook into drinks should be the best way to have it easily and conveniently. And, in fact, it has its natural sweetness, it is not necessary for adding extra amount of sugar into the cooking of Luohan guo drink. However, I liked chewing the winter melon strips in the drink, thus, I chose to add a few strips to enhance not only the taste of this herbal tea, but also creating interesting bites while having the drink.

This herbal tea drink is quick and simple as well as buck saving to cook and drink regularly, for general well being.
