1. Prepare materials

A Refreshing Health Porridge in Summer [lotus Leaf and Lotus Seed Porridge] recipe

2. Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot and bring it to a boil.

3. Wash the lotus leaves, chop them, put them in boiling water, and cook for 20 minutes on medium and low heat.

4. At this time, the water has turned a faint green, and the fragrance is overflowing, remove the lotus leaf.

5. Pour in the washed rice and fresh lotus seeds, boil again on high heat, and stir slightly with a spoon to avoid sticking to the bottom.

6. Cover the lid, turn to the lowest heat, and cook for about 1.5-2 hours.

7. After boiling until thick, add rock sugar (add it according to your favorite sweetness).

8. Stir slowly with a spoon until the rock sugar melts.

Tips:
My lotus leaf is relatively small, if it is a large lotus leaf, half is enough.

I did not core the fresh lotus seeds. The lotus core can clear the fire. If you are afraid of hardship, you can remove the lotus core first.

The porridge must be cooked slowly on a low fire, so that the porridge water is collected slowly, and the porridge will be silky and delicate.

It is best to add the porridge water at one time. Adding it halfway will affect the taste. It is better to add more while boiling it than adding it halfway. If there is too much water, increase the fire pot, and the water will be collected faster.
