Whole dried monk fruit (or luo han guo) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been used for centuries. Native to southern China and Thailand, it has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, and an excellent source of Vitamin C. It helps promote digestion, healthy blood sugar levels, weigh loss and is suitable for diabetics because it is low carb/zero carb, and has no calories.
Monk fruit is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar. So often times, monk fruit products (specifically monk fruit powders and granules) are mixed with erythritol or allulose to reduce the sweetness of pure monk fruit.
In this video, I talk about the difference between golden monk fruit and traditional monk fruit, and how to use monk fruit to make tea with just water. The type of monk fruit and the water temperature is key to a great tasting cup of monk fruit tea. Of course, you can add rose petals, dry tangerine peels, or dry chrysanthemum flower buds to enhance the flavour to your liking.
NOTE: Monk fruit is not always suitable for everyone. Avoid drinking monk fruit tea if you have clear phlegm, diarrhea, a runny nose, or a cold chill. According to Chinese medicine, monk fruit is cold in nature, and if anyone is experiencing a cold, their body needs something warm to balance it out.
