The most refreshing thing I've had all summer isn't a drink — it's Da Hong Pao tea jelly.

I've tried every way to brew Da Hong Pao, but turning it into a jelly surprised me the most. The process is simpler than you'd think — boil your tea, mix with White Jelly Powder 白凉粉, add a touch of rock sugar, and let it set overnight. By the next day, you have the lightest, most flavourful summer dessert you've ever tasted.

Eat it plain and let the tea melt into your mouth — or pair it with fresh honeydew, white peach, or grapes.

This has officially become my favourite summer treat. Full recipe in the video — try it and let me know how it goes!
