What kind of drink will quench your thirst in summer? It's not the juice of this coke. Old Beijing likes this one the most. Every household can boil it. If you go to a restaurant to eat, most of them order a pot of iced. Speaking of which, are you guessing?
Yes, this is the "sour plum soup" that everyone loves and blossoms. The effect of this soup for expelling heat, quenching thirst and appetizing is not small. The whole family can drink it. If you are afraid of sweetness, you can put less rock sugar; if you like sweetness, you can put a few more rock sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus. On the basis of this formula, according to local specialties and climate conditions, mint, roselle and other things can be added to enrich the color and taste.
These days in Beijing, this is called a fever! Even the mother, who is not afraid of heat, couldn't stand it, so she turned on the air conditioner. So I quickly cook some sour plum soup, all day, except for plain water, that's it. I like to drink it the second time, although the taste is lighter than the first time, but without rock sugar, it tastes more sour. The natural cooling temperature in the air-conditioned room is very good, after all, it is too much to drink iced stomach and intestines all day long.
