Using peach resin at home is easy, but it takes a little preparation. Here’s how to do it step by step:
1. Soak the Resin
Measure 1 tablespoon of dried peach resin.
Soak it in a bowl of clean water for 10–12 hours (overnight is perfect).
It will expand 8–10 times its size and become jelly-like.
Remove any black or hard pieces. Rinse well.
2. Boil or Steam
You can cook it in several ways:
Option A: Sweet Peach Resin Soup
Add the soaked resin to a pot with water.
Add rock sugar, red dates, goji berries, or longan (optional).
Simmer for 20–30 minutes on low heat.
Serve warm or cold.
Option B: With Milk or Coconut Milk
Boil the peach resin with water and a bit of coconut milk or almond milk.
Add honey or maple syrup if you like it sweet.
Option C: Blend into Smoothies
After soaking and cooking, add a spoon of peach resin jelly into your fruit smoothie for extra texture and health benefits.
Storage Tips
After soaking and rinsing, you can store the peach resin jelly in the fridge (in a clean container) for up to 3 days.
Don’t eat it raw. Always soak and cook before using.
Peach tree resin is a natural, gentle, and beautiful ingredient with many health benefits. From glowing skin to better digestion and restful sleep, it’s no wonder this golden jelly is a favorite in traditional Chinese homes. With just a little soaking and simmering, you can enjoy this ancient gift from nature right in your kitchen.
Disclaimer: While peach tree resin is safe for most people, those with allergies or serious health conditions should talk to a healthcare professional before trying new remedies.
