Chilled Sour Plum Soup
1.
Prepare all the ingredients, among which hawthorn, ebony, licorice, and rock sugar are necessary. The other ingredients are to increase the layering of the ebony soup, and the troublesome can be appropriately reduced.
2.
Soak ingredients other than mint leaves and rock sugar for 1-2 hours, not more than 2 hours.
3.
Add the soaked ingredients to 2500ml of clean water, boil on high heat, turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes, and add dried mint leaves for the last 5 minutes (if fresh mint, please add it before turning off the heat, no need to cook)
4.
After cooling, add 100-150g of rock sugar. If it is hot, add rock sugar, no matter how much you put it will not be sweet! Remember!
Tips:
1. All the containers used for soaking, boiling and storing the sour plum soup should avoid metal containers.
2. Peppermint leaves contain peppermint oil. Cooking together will destroy the taste of peppermint, so it must be put in before turning off the heat. The mint leaves are dried 5 minutes before turning off the heat, and fresh mint can be put in before turning off the heat.
3. Rock sugar must be put in the sour plum soup after cooling, otherwise the sweetness will be affected.
4. It will be more convenient if you put a gauze bag to cook.
