Horseshoe is also called water chestnut, which is sweet in nature and cold in taste. It can clear away heat and moisturize the lungs, promote body fluid and reduce stagnation, soothe the liver, improve eyesight, and promote qi;
Horseshoe is often used as fruit in Yunnan. When I went to Nanjing at school, I learned that horseshoe can be used in dishes and the taste is great, especially for making meatballs.
Eating more horseshoes can prevent respiratory diseases, especially acute pharyngitis. I have personally experienced this~
On the weekend, the tonsils became inflamed, and my throat, eyes, and saliva were very painful when I woke up, but I didn’t want to take medicine. I just cooked the horseshoe wolfberry syrup and drank it for two days. That's it, it's really a good thing~"

Ingredients

Moderate amount (I used sixteen) Horseshoe
30g Crystal Sugar
Some Wolfberry

Sugar Water Horseshoe

1. The ingredients are shown in the picture, and my husband helped me cut the horseshoes^_^;

2. Peel and wash the horseshoes, and cut each horseshoe cross into four pieces;

3. Put the horseshoes in a casserole, add appropriate amount of water and rock sugar, boil on high heat and simmer for 20 minutes;

4. Add goji berries, cook for one minute, turn off the heat and simmer for 10 minutes;

5. After simmering for 10 minutes, the water-soluble ingredients in the wolfberry come out, there are so many wolfberry polysaccharides~

6. Ok, I drank a bowl while it was hot, and put the rest in the refrigerator to drink the next day. After drinking for two days, the tonsils no longer hurt~

Tips:
1. The wolfberry can't be cooked for a long time after it is put in, otherwise the wolfberry will be boiled, which will affect the appearance. Braising is a good method;
2. The amount of rock sugar is added according to personal preference, my amount is moderately sweet~
3. Horseshoe cold, don’t eat too much at one time, and don’t eat too much if the spleen and stomach are cold~
