Homemade sour plum soup

Introduction:

Production steps:

Step 1: take a group photo ~ ~ if you don't like the smell of osmanthus, you can reduce it to 5g, or replace it with roses.

Step 2: clean the Hawthorn and black plum, and soak them in drinking water for 5 or 6 hours. I like to soak for a long time, so that the cooking time can be shortened and the gas can be saved.

Step 3: after soaking for 6 hours, hawthorn and black plum "fade" and the water turns reddish brown.

Step 4: package the soaked hawthorn, black plum, licorice and Osmanthus fragrans with disposable bittern.

Step 5: add the stock solution of soaking hawthorn and about 1500 ml of direct drinking water.

Step 6: bring to a boil over a high fire and boil over a low fire for 1 hour. After about 2 / 3 of the original water is left, pour out the sour plum soup, add 1000 ml of water again and cook for 1 hour to get 800 ml of the second pot of sour plum soup.

Step 7: sour plum soup should be put sugar when it is half hot and half cold, otherwise it will not be sweet when it is hot. I made 1800 ml sour plum soup, put about 400 grams of borneol sugar, try it, still very sour! If you like sweeter, add more sugar. You can also add about 10 grams of salt to taste better.

Materials required:

Note: sour plum soup is a popular folk drink handed down by our ancestors. It is a benefactor to quench thirst and generate body fluid during the heat season. In terms of nutritional components, the organic acids in sour plum are very rich, such as citric acid, malic acid and so on. Among them, there is a special citric acid, which can effectively inhibit lactic acid and expel harmful substances that make blood vessels aging. The high content of lactic acid in the body is an important cause of fatigue. Therefore, when staying up late to work or feeling tired, drinking a cup of sour plum soup can play a very good role in refreshing, so that muscle and vascular tissue vitality. In addition, so many acidic substances can also promote the secretion of salivary glands and gastric juice glands, which can not only produce saliva and quench thirst, but also avoid carsickness when traveling, or play the role of sobering up after drinking too much. Sour plum contains a variety of vitamins, especially vitamin B2, which is hundreds of times higher than other fruits. Although it tastes sour, it belongs to alkaline food. If you eat too much acidic food such as meat, drinking sour plum soup will help your blood pH balance. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people with liver fire should drink more sour plum soup. It can not only calm down liver fire, but also help the spleen and stomach digest and nourish the liver. In addition, sour plum is also a natural throat medicine, which can mildly moisten the inflamed parts of the throat and relieve pain. ~~PS: when boiling sour plum soup, it's better not to use iron pot and stainless steel pot, because sour plum soup has strong acidity, and it's easy to corrode metal after boiling. It's best to use a casserole or glass pot
