Meet the Three Ingredients

Peach Gum · 桃胶 · Tao Jiao

Peach Gum is a plant-derived ingredient associated with peach trees.

When dry, it appears as hard, translucent amber-coloured pieces. After soaking, it absorbs water, softens and becomes more translucent.

Its appeal in traditional sweet soups comes largely from its distinctive texture rather than a strong peach-fruit flavour.

Amber · Translucent · Soft After Soaking

This gift set contains 2 containers of Peach Gum.

Snow Gum · 雪燕 · Xue Yan

Snow Gum is a dried plant-derived ingredient used in Chinese-style sweet preparations.

It requires soaking before cooking. As it hydrates, the dry ingredient develops a soft, delicate and translucent appearance.

Ivory · Delicate · Translucent When Hydrated

This gift set contains 1 container of Snow Gum.

Zao Jiao Mi · 皂角米

Zao Jiao Mi is a traditional plant-derived food ingredient used in soups and dessert-style preparations.

After soaking and gentle cooking, it develops a soft texture that complements Peach Gum and Snow Gum.

Pale Gold · Soft · Made for Slow Simmering

This gift set contains 1 container of Zao Jiao Mi.

Three Ingredients · Three Textures

One of the most distinctive features of this collection is texture.

Peach Gum becomes soft and translucent.

Snow Gum develops a delicate hydrated texture.

Zao Jiao Mi becomes soft with a slightly more substantial character.

Together, they create a traditional dessert experience centred around:

Texture · Warmth · Gentle Sweetness · Slow Preparation

The ingredients themselves are relatively mild, allowing complementary fruits and sweeteners to shape the finished bowl.

How to Prepare

Because Peach Gum, Snow Gum and Zao Jiao Mi hydrate differently, soak them separately before cooking.

Step 1 · Soak Separately

Place each ingredient in a separate bowl with plenty of clean water and allow sufficient room for expansion.

Soaking time can vary depending on ingredient size and supplier preparation, so follow the final product directions whenever available.

Step 2 · Rinse & Inspect

After soaking:

• Drain and discard the soaking water

• Rinse the hydrated ingredients gently

• Inspect each ingredient

• Remove visible natural debris or impurities where necessary

Step 3 · Simmer Gently

Transfer the prepared ingredients to clean water and cook gently.

Avoid an aggressive rolling boil.

Because the three ingredients differ in texture and cooking behaviour, they may need to be added at different stages depending on the recipe.

Soak · Rinse · Gentle Simmer · Serve

Classic Sweet Soup Inspiration

Use Peach Gum, Snow Gum and Zao Jiao Mi as the foundation of a homemade Chinese-style sweet soup.

Complementary ingredients may include:

• Red dates

• Goji berries

• Dried longan

• Asian pear

• Lily bulb

• Lotus seeds

• Rock sugar or another suitable sweetener to taste

The result is a dessert centred around soft textures and gentle sweetness rather than an intense flavour profile.

Make It Your Own

For a Lighter Bowl

Use less added sweetener and allow fruit ingredients to contribute natural sweetness.

For a Fruitier Bowl

Try pairing with pear, dried longan or red dates.

For More Colour

Add a small amount of goji berries toward the later stage of cooking.

For a Fuller Traditional-Style Bowl

Explore suitable pairings such as lily bulb or lotus seeds.

The finished sweet soup may be enjoyed warm, or properly cooled and served chilled.

A Gift Made for the Kitchen

Not every Eastern-inspired ritual begins with a teapot.

Some begin with a bowl.

The Peach Gum · Snow Gum · Zao Jiao Mi Sweet Soup Gift Set is designed for someone who enjoys:

• Chinese sweet soups

• Homemade desserts

• Traditional Chinese ingredients

• Slow cooking

• Eastern-inspired pantry ingredients

• Food gifts made for sharing

This is not simply a display gift. It is meant to be opened, soaked, cooked and shared around the table.

Storage & Care

Before soaking, keep all ingredients properly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, excessive heat, humidity and strong odours.

Always use clean, dry utensils when handling the dried ingredients.

Because these are dried food ingredients, moisture control is especially important before preparation.

Refer to the product packaging for best-before information and any additional storage instructions.

Product Guidance

Peach Gum, Snow Gum and Zao Jiao Mi are traditional food ingredients rather than medicines or conventional tea leaves.

If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions or other concerns about whether an ingredient is appropriate for you, review the final product label and consult an appropriate qualified professional when necessary.

Always follow the preparation and storage directions provided on the product packaging.
