Tremella, Lotus Seed and Coix Seed Soup

1. Step 1: Soak the three things, Tremella, Lotus Seed and Coix, in warm water the night before. (I soaked all night).

Tremella, Lotus Seed and Coix Seed Soup recipe

2. This is the soaked white fungus.

3. Step 2: Remove the roots of the soaked white fungus. (That is, the yellow hard thing on the left is at the root of the white fungus)

4. The third step: remove the soaked lotus seeds painstakingly. (Take care not to throw away the removed lotus seeds. You can dry them and make tea to drink! The lotus seeds can clear away heat, relieve the fire, and lower blood pressure. Buying it alone is quite expensive.)

5. The fourth step: Pour an appropriate amount of water in the pot and bring it to a boil. (I poured half of the pot, my pot is small, this depends on the amount of ingredients.)

6. Step 5: Pour the coix seed and cook first (because the coix seed is the most difficult to cook, so cook the coix seed first). Cook until the coix seed is half cooked. Pour the coix seed and turn to low heat.

7. This is the half-ripe Coix seed, you can taste one, it will bite but not rotten.

8. Step 6: When the coix seed is half cooked, pour in the lotus seeds and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.

9. Step 7: Boil the lotus seeds for 20 to 30 minutes and then pour the white fungus.

10. Step 8: Pour the white fungus and cook for 20 minutes, then pour the old rock sugar. Cook for another 20-30 minutes. Enough. I don't put a lot of sugar, because I want to put some honey after the soup is cold.

11. I added some goji berries myself, and let it go when it's almost ready.

Tips:
Mumu reminds you: I have a little trick to share with you about the purchase of white fungus, that is, when buying white fungus, try to buy that kind of white fungus, because the bagged white fungus is big and big. Yes, the roots of the kind of white fungus are relatively large, and the leaves are relatively small. The kind of white fungus that is known as the white fungus has more broken pieces. They are all small and one small. Relatively speaking, the roots are less and smaller. Everything has no roots but leaves! Anyway, when you buy the big white fungus and make it back, you still have to break it into small pieces! Nobody’s money comes from a strong wind these days, so it’s best to make the best use of everything. Do you think this is the reason?
