Ingredients (serves 2):

100g peach gum crystals, soaked overnight

50g dried cranberries

50g dried wolfberries

Rock sugar to taste

2. Place peach gum and 1 liter water in a large sauce pan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes, during which the liquid will turn a little sticky.

3. Add sugar to taste, and add the cranberries and wolfberries.

4. Peach gum tastes better if you chill it. Just before serving spoon over cold cream or milk
