Apple, Aloe Vera with Dried Figs

There ! Saw some fresh aloe vera in the supermarket and grabbed a few to make some "cooling effect" dessert soup.

I have a few variations on making this simple aloe vera dessert soup. The quickest way that I've shared in last September during LTU Theme Apple : Green Apple Aloe Vera with Honey Soup


This time, I'm adding some dried figs and sweet & bitter apricot kernels.

Apple, Aloe Vera with Dried Figs
Ingredients:
2 small green apples (peeled, cored and quartered)
Dried figs (干无花果) about 10 pcs
Sweet & bitter apricot kernels (南,北杏) about 1 teaspoon each
Aloe vera (fresh) about 200g cut in chunky cubes
Water 1.5 ltr
Crystal rock sugar a few pieces (adjust the sweetness to your preference)

Method:
Add rock sugar, dried figs & apricot kernels into a pot of hot boiling water to boil about 10 - 15 mins in medium-low flame. 
Add apples, boil a further 10 mins.
Lastly add in the aloe vera and boil another 5 mins.

Freshly cut aloe vera

Done and ready to be served!


Served either hot or chilled ... Enjoying a bowl of sweet refreshing and nourishing Apple Aloe Vera with Dried Figs dessert soup.

Enjoy ! Have a blessed weekend ^-^

      Hi Mel, in hot & humid weather, this chilled dessert definitely suitable ... anything of the day.

    If only I can find aloe vera here, but it will be difficult. Nevermind, I will first bookmark this so that I can try at my mum's place when I go back to Singapore. Thank you so much for sharing such a refreshing dessert. :)

      Phong Hong, if you have ever used 'sugar melon' dong kwa tong in some dessert tong sui, aloe vera taste like the softened dong kwa tong.

    Hi Karen,
    I always eat dried fig just as it is.
    Never thought of making it into such nourishing dessert soup.
    Thanks for sharing.
