| When approaching Tianchih Winter Melon Drinks Shop, which has been in business for two decades, the aroma and sweetness of stewing winter melons fills the air. Proprietor Chen Jia-tang says the shop uses matured winter melons harvested in Taiwan. After a thorough cleaning, each winter melon is sliced, but the hard skin is retained. Tianchih stews winter melons with their skins and granulated sugar. These ingredients gradually intertwine until the melons become caramelized. The caramelized winter melons are then moved to another cauldron, where they are stirred until they turn into dried winter-melon sugars. To make a winter-melon drink, one simply adds water to the sugar and boils it. The concoction is filtered to remove fibers and achieve the best possible taste. The 12 to 16 hours it takes to render winter melons into a beverage creates a delightful fresh fragrance, as well as a drink that charms many customers.
