Loomi Tea

Instructions

1. Add a gallon of water to loomi in a non-reactive pan. Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, turn off burner and cool. (I put a lid on the pot).
2. Strain and then add the sugar. Let sugar dissolve at room temperature.
3. Stir, taste for sugar and chill.
4. Serve chilled with ice cubes.
5. Note: You can also leave the loomi soaking in the gallon of water overnight. In the morning, bring to a boil, turn heat off and strain and add sugar. But the recipe above can be used when making it in a hurry.
6. Also, crush the loomi into small pieces using a mortar and pestle. This brings out the flavor and sourness.
