【西洋菜蜜】Watercress Honey Drink

我曾在香港待过两个月，非常享受香港的美食，尤其是各式各样的茶餐厅美食。而这款西洋菜蜜饮料是我觉得特别新奇的一款饮料，因为西洋菜在我家乡都是拿来炖汤的，所以我经常点了来喝。

美东这几天特别冷，刚好买了两把西洋菜，为这几天因为暖气开太足而变得干燥的体质做一锅润肺去燥的西洋菜蜜吧！

I spent two months in Hong Kong sometimes ago and really enjoyed the food in Hong Kong. This watercress honey drink is a type of drink that many restaurants serve, very unique and refreshing.

Since it is not too hard to make it at home, I decided to make a pot of this drink for this winter day.

150 克 西洋菜

3-4 颗 蜜枣

1500 ml 水

适量 蜂蜜

Ingredients:

150 g of Watercress

3-4 Chinese Candied dates

1500 ml water

1. 把西洋菜洗净沥干水份，加入1500 ml 水，4-5颗蜜枣，煮滚后转中火继续煮20-25分钟即可。

2. 喝的时候加入蜂蜜或者蜂糖调味。冷热皆可。

1. Clean and drain the watercress, add 1500 ml of water into a pot with the watercress and 4-5 candied dates. 

2. Bring the pot to a rolling boil, turn to medium heat and continue cooking for 20-25 minutes.
