Pomelo tea is an autumn gift of Hanoi.

Pomelo sweet soup is an autumn gift of Hanoi, but it originates from the distant Southwest region. The main ingredients of this dish are pomelo pulp, green beans, tapioca starch, pandan leaves, sugar, and coconut milk. The process of making pomelo sweet soup is quite complicated and not everyone has the patience to make a delicious pomelo sweet soup with the authentic taste of the West. After eating all the pomelo pulp, the peel will be used to cook the sweet soup.

Every time the harsh summer sun ends, the cool shade of the trees falls on both sides of the road, the streets are filled with the fragrance of grapefruit and milk flowers, awakening people to a new autumn. In such cool weather, there is nothing better than a bowl of cool grapefruit sweet soup, rich in coconut milk and mung beans, captivating people's hearts.

The biggest difference between pomelo desserts is the pomelo pulp. The pomelo pulp must be soaked in salt water to remove the bitter taste, cut into small, bite-sized pieces, then added to tapioca starch and refined sugar to keep the pulp crispy and chewy. A delicious pomelo dessert must have a moderate sweetness, the dessert must not be too thick but must have a smooth consistency that makes people linger. To do this, when stirring the tapioca starch with pandan leaves, stir evenly, do not let it clump or burn at the bottom of the pot.

When it is almost thick enough, start adding the grapefruit pulp and stir. When the grapefruit pulp is cooked, add the mung beans and cook until boiling. Then you have a complete grapefruit dessert, scoop it into a bowl.

However, to increase the aroma, many people have the habit of putting pomelo flowers on top of the sweet soup and then letting it cool, waiting until eating to take it out. Pomelo sweet soup must be eaten cold to fully appreciate the delicious taste of the sweet soup. How intoxicating is the bowl of sticky, yellow-green pomelo sweet soup, mixed with fatty green beans combined with transparent white pomelo pulp and rich coconut water. On chilly autumn days, enjoying a bowl of rustic pomelo sweet soup with friends and relatives, chatting about a few funny stories is truly the best.

Pomelo sweet soup is not only a dish, but also a traditional cultural feature, the spiritual life of Vietnamese people. For many people, pomelo sweet soup also contains a whole sky of childhood, peaceful memories of a bowl of pomelo sweet soup containing so many sacred family feelings of grandmother, of mother.
