The weather is changing, and people catching colds are increasing day by day. In the hot summer, catching a cold, coughing, and getting angry are common occurrences. For this reason, it's uncomfortable to take injections and medicine. . .
Kumquat has the effects of regulating qi, relieving depression, resolving phlegm, quenching thirst, reducing food, and sobering alcohol. Kumquat can enhance the body's ability to resist cold, prevent colds and lower blood lipids. It is suitable for people with chest tightness and depression, not thinking about diet, or eating full, drunk and thirsty; suitable for people with acute and chronic bronchitis, hepatitis, cholecystitis, high blood pressure, and straight tube sclerosis. Such a good thing is not always said every day. . Therefore, almost every family in my side has such a jar of salted kumquat, which is not very comfortable when it is smashed and soaked in water. The effect is very good. Let's talk about the method of salty kumquat drops below. . . "

Ingredients

2 catties Kumquat
A pack Salt

Salted Kumquat

1. Must choose kumquat without any broken drops. If your bottle is large, you can make a few catties at a time, and you can make one catty for a smaller bottle.

2. Boil a pot of dilute salt water, let it cool, soak the kumquats for about 1 hour, and then take the kumquats out to dry. Probably it will be completely dry after washing it the next day. There must be no moisture on the surface.

3. Take out your drip bottle, I use drip is a sealed glass bottle sold in the supermarket. Boil it in boiling water and let it dry. You can also wipe it dry with a clean cloth.

4. Put the dried kumquats into the bottle. There is a skill for this, it must be a layer of kumquat sprinkled with a layer of salt. Don't save salt, it's easy to spoil if you don't put enough salt. I need a large bag of salt for about 2 catties of kumquat. This salt is best that kind of coarse salt.

5. Seal the bottle after putting it down. If your dripping bottle is not sealed enough, please seal the bottle with two layers of drip wrap. Then place the bottle in a cool place. It is forbidden to open the lid within a month, otherwise the air will easily deteriorate if it gets in. The storage time should be at least 3 months before you can eat it, and when you clamp the kumquat, make sure that your utensils are clean and water-free.

6. This kumquat can be stored for many years, and it will not go bad. The longer the time, the better. . . But every judge, remember that this material is cold in nature, and it’s better to eat less if you catch cold. Otherwise it will be counterproductive. . .
