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.
What needs special mention is that the authentic sour plum soup must be boiled with rock sugar. According to reports, it takes a long time to boil sour plum soup to fully exert its effects. If sugar is used, it will not only taste sweet and greasy, but also easy to get angry. After a long time, it will also easily become bitter, which affects health and taste. The rock sugar is different. It can not only maintain the original flavor of the sour plum soup, but also neutralize the excess acidity in the sour plum soup. It can also act as a "medicine guide", fully triggering the effects of ebony plum and hawthorn in eliminating oil and greasy, appetizing and strengthening the spleen. And the more boiled rock sugar, the sweeter it is. Just adding a small amount can achieve excellent results, even if the sour plum soup tastes better, it prevents the drinker from ingesting too much sugar. "
