Tang Yuan in Ginger Tea

INGREDIENTS

for the dumpling skin:

2 cups glutinous rice flour

7 oz water

for the peanut filling:

1/2 cup whole peanuts

2 tablespoons white sugar

3 tablespoons peanut butter

1 tablespoon icing sugar

1 tablespoon coconut oil

for the soup:

5 sticks SUPER Tea Infusions Ginger Tea

MAKING THE TANG YUAN

1. Toast peanuts over medium heat, for 3-5 minutes, until aromatic. Remove peanuts and let cool.

2. Add peanuts to a food processor and blitz together with the sugar, until it becomes a coarse powder.

3. Place in a small mixing bowl and mix with the peanut butter, icing sugar, and coconut oil until it forms a firm consistency

4. Cover with plastic wrap and place into the fridge to stiffen.

5. For the dumpling, mix glutinous flour with water and knead with hands to form a dough. The dough is done when it isn’t sticky anymore.

6. Break off small pieces of dough, about the size of a ping pong ball. Use your thumb to make an indent.

7. Place a small portion of the peanut filling in the center of the dough ball and pinch the dough closed. Roll to form a ball. Repeat with the remainder.

8. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently slide in
some Tang Yuan in. When all the balls start to float on
the surface cook it for one minute longer.
