Almond Tea with Egg White

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Soak both South and North Almonds in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. 2

   Drain the soaked almonds and rinse them thoroughly under running water.

3. 3

   Combine the rinsed almonds with water in a blender. Blend until very smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Strain the blended almond mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth into a saucepan. Discard the almond pulp.

5. 5

   Add rock sugar to the strained almond milk in the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the rock sugar is fully dissolved.

6. 6

   While the almond tea is simmering, lightly whisk the egg whites in a separate bowl until just frothy, not stiff.

7. 7

   Once the rock sugar is dissolved, slowly pour the lightly whisked egg whites into the simmering almond tea, stirring gently and continuously in one direction. This will create a 'flower' effect with the egg whites.

8. 8

   Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
