It was really easy, just put the winter melon tea block inside a large pot of boiling water and boil it until the block dissolves and voila you have a lovely fragrant winter melon tea.Then it is time to bottle them up.umâs cousin lives there so we decided to pay her a visit. My Auntie took us to various places in TaiNan and she took us to one of the famous spot that sells winter melon tea. I love winter melon tea â nicely fragrant not too sweet just right.
