Almond tofu is a very famous Beijing specialty snack. Sweet almonds are grinded and boiled with water. They are frozen and condensed and then cut into pieces. It is named after the shape of tofu. However, the method of making almond tofu differs depending on the region where it is made. Almonds are the kernels of almonds, which contain 20% protein and do not contain starch. Sweet almonds tend to be nourishing and have a certain effect of nourishing the lungs. Eating almonds correctly can achieve the effects of producing body fluids and quenching thirst, moisturizing the lungs and relieving asthma, smoothing the bowel, and reducing intestinal cancer. However, excessive consumption of almonds (whether bitter or sweet) can cause poisoning, so you must first eat them before eating. Soak in water several times and heat to boil.
The prepared almond tofu can be stored in the refrigerator and topped with sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus. It is tender and refreshing, a beautiful dessert.
