The summer is coming, and the sun is blazing, so a cup of cool green bean soup is undoubtedly the best choice to quench your thirst. As a must-have summer drink, green bean soup not only tastes sweet, but also has a lot of benefits such as heat, diuretic and detoxification. Today, let me share an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to make green bean soup, so you can enjoy this summer cooler at home.

Ingredients:

Mung bean 250 grams

Ice sugar 100 grams (can be adjusted according to personal taste)

Water 1000 ml

Salt a little

Steps:

To wash the mung bean: put the mung bean into a container, and repeat the wash a few times until the water becomes clear and free of impurities. Place the cleaned green beans in a bowl and soak in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Cooking the green beans: Pour the soaked green beans into a saucepan with the soaking water, and add 1,000 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, skim off any foam, cover and cook for 30 minutes.

Add rock sugar: When the green beans are cooked until soft, add 100 grams of rock sugar. Stir while cooking so that the sugar melts completely.

Seasoning: Add a pinch of salt to taste. Salt balances the sweetness of the green bean soup and promotes water absorption, making the soup even sweeter and more flavorful.

Cooling and drinking: The cooked green bean soup can be consumed after it is cooled down. Chilled green bean soup tastes better, try putting the cooked green bean soup into the refrigerator for about 2 hours and then enjoy the cool flavor!

Tips:

Drink your mung bean soup while it's still hot so that it doesn't sit for too long.

The sweetness of the green bean soup can be adjusted according to personal preference. You can add more rock sugar if you like it sweeter, and less or no rock sugar if you like it lighter.

The green bean soup has the effect of benefiting the qi and clearing the heat, eliminating the summer heat and detoxification, but the spleen and stomach cold people should not drink more.

Green bean soup can be added to other ingredients, such as lily, lotus seeds, barley, etc., rich in nutrients, add flavor.
