Dragon Fruit Enzyme DIY
posted in other |
Recently, my youngest sister show me how to prepare dragon fruit enzyme. This enzyme is sold in organic shops and grocery stalls too. It is quite expensive per bottle. Red dragon fruit is just my favourate enzyme and the colour is just beautiful and delicious to taste with a tinge of alcohol. Enzyme can improve our immune system and protect out cells from free radical damage. You can try other fruits like oranges and grapes too. Do try to prepare this dragon fruit enzyme at home.
Ingredients:
2 red dragon fruits
2 lemon
4 pieces pean tong (brown candy), break into 4 pieces for each bar
1 meduim Holick bottle
Method:
Soak dragon fruits and lemons in water for several hours to clean and then rinse and wipe dry. Leave them to dry completely. All the utensils used should be dried and cleaned. Then cut off the skin of dragon fruits and cut into slices and fill in the glass bottle with 1/3 full follow by sugar pieces. Then add lemon slices which have been sliced with skin on. You can repeat in the same sequence and always end with the last layer with sugar. Cover the cap tightly and leave it in a cool dry place. Shake the bottle everyday to ensure the top is immersed in liquid to prevent mold growth.
The enzyme should be ready in two to three weeks. Sieve the fruits and pour the juice into a bottle through a funnel. Store the enzyme in the fridge to slow down fermentation process. Drink the enzme in the morning and evening. Remind yourself, only 2 tablespoon, twice a day. For the diabetic people, just drink 2 tablespoon per day.
