Fresh lotus seeds: boiled for about 10 minutes.

Frozen lotus seeds: without thawing, directly boil water for about 15 minutes.

Dried lotus seeds: Boil in water for about 40 minutes.

Fresh tremella: after washing, peel off the small flowers and cook for about 10 minute.

Dried Tremella: Soak in water for 30 minutes, wash, peel off small flowers and remove yellow parts, and cook in boiling water for about 40 minutes.

The practice of tremella lotus seed soup;

Materials: water 1 .5 ~ 2L, lotus seed 100g, tremella 125g, 4 red dates, rock sugar130 ~/50g, salt1pinch.

1, before you start cooking, you should confirm the status of the materials you bought. The cooking time of fresh materials must be shorter, while that of dry materials takes longer. According to this recipe, the longest cooking time must be red dates, which take at least 40 minutes, so the water goes down as soon as it boils.

2. To deal with fresh lotus seeds, shell them first, peel off the gray pedicel with your thumb, and push the lotus plumule out from the other side of the pedicel with a bamboo stick.

3. If fresh lotus seeds and fresh tremella are used, just wait until the last ten minutes to cook until soft and tender.

If you use frozen lotus seeds, you need to arrive at the last bus fifteen minutes in advance. In short, please calculate the time it takes for the ingredients to cook in the pot to decide when to cook.

5. After all the ingredients are cooked until soft and tender, add rock sugar and a pinch of salt and stir well. Turn off the fire, cover the pot and stew for ten minutes.

6. Try to adjust the sweetness. In summer, I like to cool it and put it in the cold storage until it is completely cool. You can drink hot drinks directly in winter without cooling down. If you want to eat ice, you must completely freeze it in the refrigerator before you can enjoy it.
