In my hometown, at the end of each year, every household wants to buy ginkgo, break its shell, peel its flesh and soak it in clear water. After some processing, it will be boiled into ginkgo syrup to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year. Let's share the ginkgo syrup in my hometown.

Ginkgo biloba, also known as "Gongsunguo", is a dry and mature seed of Ginkgo biloba, a deciduous tree of Ginkgo biloba. It tastes sweet and nutritious. It can be used as a valuable medicinal diet. Ginkgo is sweet, bitter and astringent; Sex is flat and poisonous. Meridian enters lung and kidney meridians. It can astringe lung qi, relieve asthma and cough, stop turbidity and reduce stool. Treat asthma, phlegm cough, leucorrhea, white turbidity, nocturnal emission, gonorrhea and frequent urination.

If the children at home often get up in the middle of the night to pee, or pee frequently at night, the old family will teach you a secret recipe. That is, take two ginkgo biloba, put the shell on the tile and bake it on the fire. Bake until the shell of ginkgo biloba is cracked. Take out the pulp for the children to eat. Basically, the problem of frequent urination at night was solved twice. Remember, there are only two.

Anyway, let's talk about the ginkgo syrup that my hometown people must make for the New Year.

Ginkgo biloba usually buys a few kilograms, and then the whole family gets together, breaks the shell, puts it in a pot, pours water and covers it with ginkgo biloba. When the fire boils, turn off the fire and take it out. Carefully peel off the outer membrane of Ginkgo biloba one by one. After the outer membrane is removed, you need to find a big pot, pour ginkgo biloba into it, and then pour water on it. In this way, soak for two or three days. Change water three or four times a day.

On the first day of the first month, take out the soaked ginkgo, wash it, put it in a hot pot, pour a little oil, and stir-fry the ginkgo over medium heat. When ginkgo biloba changes color, add sugar and a little water and cook until the sugar juice is dry. Ginkgo biloba after this treatment will not taste bitter. Take out the ginkgo and put it on a plate for later use. Soak Coicis Semen until soft, and boil it into Coicis Semen syrup. Then pour the processed Ginkgo biloba into the Coix seed syrup and cook for 10 minute.

When guests visit and sit down for a while, the host will offer them a bowl of ginkgo barley syrup. Even if the guests don't like it, take a few bites, as long as the meaning is right. Children usually eat half a bowl, because ginkgo can't be greedy. Overeating can cause diarrhea, bloating and other symptoms.
