Sour plum soup: a traditional drink to keep you fresh

Introduction:

"Sour plum soup has a history of thousands of years in China. It is one of the oldest traditional drinks in China. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, our ancestors already knew to use plum to extract sour taste as a drink. My pot of sour plum soup uses black plum, dried hawthorn, luoshenhua, liquorice and rock sugar. Black plum is sold in Chinese drugstores, but it's not the kind of preserves in supermarkets. Don't buy it wrong. I bought 200 grams, less than 8 yuan, and the cost of a sour plum soup is about 3 yuan. It's really a good and affordable health drink. "
