Gingko nuts & Lotus Bulb Dessert



Okay, this was a favorite Chinese dessert of mine growing up. I don't know how to describe the tastes...but it's GOOD.

But this time, it was a fail. Not sure if it's because I bought the de-shelled and preserved gingko nuts isntead of fresh ones...but it had a bitter taste to it. Every. Single. One. I ended up throwing away half the pot. So sad.

Fresh gingko nuts
Fresh lotus bulb
Rock sugar
piece of raw ginger
water
