Tips:
1. Tips for removing the inner skin of chestnuts: Put the shelled chestnuts into this bowl, pour in boiling water and salt, and simmer for 5 minutes. After opening, the skin will be ready to peel. The principle is that there is a fiber connection between the nuts and the peel of chestnuts, and the gap between them is very small. Only ionic substances can enter and separate them. The ionic substances in clean water are minimal, and salt is completely soluble in water. Its constituent sodium ions and chloride ions can enter between the nuts and the pulp to separate them.

2. Add the amount of sugar according to personal taste.
