1 strip dried tangerine peel or fresh orange peel
1/4 cup canned lotus seeds
1/3 - 1/2 cup brown sugar, as desired

(2) In a medium saucepan, bring the 5 cups of water with the tangerine peel to a boil.
(3) Turn the heat down, add the adzuki beans and lotus seeds and simmer, partially covered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are softened to the point where they are just beginning to break apart.
