red dates


10 red dates, some rock sugar, 2 cups of water

bring water to a boil. add in red dates and rock sugar. squish red dates when they're soften. leave to boil until water turns a reddish brown. taste. add water/rock sugar if necessary. continue boiling till the smell of red dates fill the kitchen and eventually the whole house, squishing the dates occasionally. taste again. when taste is satisfactory, bring mixture to a simmer and eventually turn heat off and let it cool.

strain off the bits and parts of red dates until a clean juice is left. enjoy!

it tastes better with one leaf of pandan. that's what grandma taught me.

on a side note, to hell with animal abusers.
