Peach gum or Tao Jiao is the dried resin harvested from the Chinese peach trees. Today I finally got the chance to cook my own peach gum dessert to feel the taste. Made a nourishing & collagen booster desert.
They say beauty starts from inside out and one of the best ways to start with, is having a bowl of hot, sweet dessert full of natural collagen. Once cook, it's jelly-like stuff texture is soft and tasteless. Since peach gum is tasteless, it's pairs well with and to add other ingredients like snow fungus, dried longan. red dates. gingko and dried winter melon etc these are all good antioxidant.
Peach gum . snow fungus, red dates, dried longan , dried winter melon and Gingko.
This is how it looks like after soaking for 5 hours
In a pot of 2 liter boiling water add in the snow fungus and red dates to simmer for 10 minutes when soften I add the rest like dried longan, dried winter melon and gingko to simmer. Just remember to add in peach gum the last. otherwise it may totally melts and dissolve totally. You may add rock sugar and as for my preference I omit and am ok without.
