👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Rinse the dried fruits and soak them in water for about 20 minutes if they are very dry. Chop larger fruits into bite-sized pieces.

   💡 プロのコツ: Soaking helps to rehydrate the fruits and reduce cooking time.
2. 2

   In a large pot, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, and star anise (if using). Bring to a boil.

3. 3

   Add the prepared dried fruits to the boiling water. Reduce heat and simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fruits are tender.

   💡 プロのコツ: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. 4

   Remove the cinnamon stick and star anise from the pot.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the potato starch (or cornstarch) with cold water to create a slurry.

6. 6

   Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering fruit soup. Continue to cook, stirring, until the soup thickens slightly.

   💡 プロのコツ: The soup should have a consistency similar to a thin syrup.
7. 7

   Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and add more sugar if needed.

   💡 プロのコツ: Lemon juice balances the sweetness and adds brightness.
8. 8

   Let the soup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled.

9. 9

   Serve the chilled fruit soup in bowls. It can be garnished with a dollop of sour cream, yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh fruit.
