Sweet orange tea #2

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 Oranges
4 tablespoons Glutinous rice flour
Water
3 cups Water
½ cup Sugar

Directions

1. Peel oranges. Remove seeds and membranes over a bowl, to catch the juice; then break pulp into small pieces. (Or cut oranges in half and, with a small sharp spoon, scoop the pulp and juice into a bowl.) 2. Place glutinous rice flour in a bowl. Mix with a small amount of water to form a stiff paste (add water gradually, one teaspoonful at a time).

Roll the paste into small (⅜-inch) balls.

3. Bring remaining water to a boil; then stir in sugar to dissolve. Drop flour balls in and continue boiling until they float and are soft.

4. Stir in orange pulp and juice; cook only to heat through. Serve hot, in small bowls. VARIATION: For the oranges, substitute 5 tangerines.
