2. Simmer the base: In a pot, add tremella, red dates, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the tremella expands.

3. Add papaya: Cut papaya into cubes (add seeds for extra sweetness if desired). Add to the pot and cook for 10 more minutes until papaya is tender but not mushy.

4. Sweeten: Stir in rock sugar until dissolved. Simmer for 2 minutes.

Serving Tips: Enjoy warm or chilled. For richer flavor, add a few goji berries or a pinch of osmanthus. This soup is hydrating, good for skin, and perfect as a light dessert or snack.
