Lotus seeds in Suger Syrup

Ingredients
7 oz dried lotus seeds, skinned and bitter germ removed 1/4 rock suger
7 tsp granulated suger 1 oz haw jelly, diced

Recipe
  1. Wash the lotus seeds and place in heat-proof bowl with water to just cover. *Steam until the seeds are very soft. Reserve the water in the bowl. Drop the seeds in boiling water for 10 seconds. Remove, drain, and set aside.
  2. Pour 1/2 cup of the steaming water into a pot and add fresh water, if needed, to make up the amount. Add the rock suger and granulated suger and bring to a boil. Pour the lotus seeds, and sprinkle with the haw jelly cubes and serve.
  3. * It is very important to steam the seeds in the water without any flavor. If you put any flavor, the seeds would never be soft.
