Sour plum soup is a traditional refreshing drink in old Beijing. The main ingredients are ebony, hawthorn, osmanthus, licorice, rock sugar and other materials. Regular drinking can indeed cure illnesses and strengthen the body. It is a rare health drink in the hot summer. Sour plum contains a variety of vitamins, especially the high content of vitamin B2, which is hundreds of times that of other fruits. Although it tastes sour, it belongs to alkaline food. If you eat too much acidic foods such as meat, drinking some sour plum soup will help your blood pH balance.
In the original formula, jujube and wolfberry are added to neutralize the medicinal flavor and increase nutrition.

Secret Sour Plum Soup

1. Preparation materials (all medicinal materials must be purchased from the pharmacy to ensure the taste)

2. Wash all the ingredients with clean water

3. Soak in warm water for 1 hour (do not use too much water, just submerge the ingredients)

4. Add 2 kg of water to the pot, then pour the soaked ingredients into the pot together (the soaked soup should also be poured in)

5. Then bring to a boil over high heat. After it is boiled, switch to low heat and cover and cook for 30 minutes

6. Add goji berries and boil again for 10 minutes

7. Then pour out the soup and save the dregs

8. Add 800 grams of water to the slag and boil for 10 minutes

9. Do not remove the dregs, save the soup

10. Combine the two boiled soups together, add rock sugar, and cook until the rock sugar melts.

11. After being completely cooled, you can add dried osmanthus or mint, ice cubes, etc. to drink together.

Tips:
1. Don't chill if the stomach is not good. In addition, it is best for children to eat less sour plum foods. Because their gastric mucosal structure is weak, they cannot resist the continuous erosion of acidic substances.
2. The sour plum soup can be stored for three days in the refrigerator, and it is best to drink it in time. Homemade sour plum soup is easy to break when placed at room temperature, so be sure to keep it in the refrigerator, and try to drink it within a day or two before making a new one.
3. Sour plum soup is cold, so you need to pay attention to your physical condition when drinking it.
4. Preparation of burnt dates: wash ordinary jujube and bake it in an oven or a pan to make a slight paste on the surface.
