Tips:

1. After the roselle is soaked, it will taste sour and sweet, and the ebony plum will be sour. If you feel sour, you can put more rock sugar.

3. Add some dried osmanthus and cook together, it will taste very good~

4. It is best not to use iron or copper pots to cook sour plum soup, which is not suitable for cooking acidic substances.
