Brewing a yummy nutritious Tong Sui (糖水) Sweet Dessert Soup for my loved ones using Soy Beans, Dried Longan and Goji Berries. Sweet Dessert Soup is generally known as Tong Sui 糖水 in Cantonese.

Preparation & Cooking:

For this sweet Dessert Soup, I am using 1/2 cup rinsed Soy Beans, 1/2 cup Dried Longan and 1/4 cup Goji Berries.

To sweeten the Sweet Dessert Soup, I am using Stevia, which is a sugar replacement which has lower calories than Sugar.

First, I boil 1/2 cup rinsed Soy Beans in 2,000ml water in my Electric Glass Boiler for 1 1/2 hour, topping up with hot boiling water if the amount of water dries up too fast.

Then add 1/2 cup Dried Longan and continue brewing for 20 mins. Keep topping up with hot boiling water if the amount of soup dries up too fast.

Then add in 1/4 Goji Berries to boil for 5 mins and add in Sugar to taste or use Sugar Replacement STEVIA if you are guarding your sugar level.

The Soy Beans should be soft. Off heat. Can be served hot or cold if chill in the fridge.
