It's just that when we are making it, there is actually a very critical part.
When making sour plum soup, adding some sugar is definitely necessary, but we also have a choice in adding sugar. If you use white sugar, it will be a little sweet and greasy, and white sugar will easily get angry.
Therefore, when making sour plum soup, it is suggested that rock sugar can be added to maintain the flavor of this sour plum soup, and the taste of rock sugar will not be affected if it is cooked for a long time.
First prepare ebony, hawthorn slices, licorice and rock sugar.
Put the hawthorn slices and licorice into the bowl and remember to wash them with tap water, because there is likely to be some sand in these things, so be sure to wash them more.
Then we add a lot of water to the pot and put all the cleaned materials in it. After the fire boils, everyone remembers to turn to low heat and cook slowly for about 30 minutes.
After boiling for 30 minutes, we add some rock sugar. Don't add too much, because the sour plum soup itself is sour and sweet, and adding too much will also affect the taste. When the rock sugar is put in the pot, it must be stirred constantly, so that the rock sugar can melt quickly and will not prevent the rock sugar from sticking to the bottom.
After the crystal sugar melts, we can turn off the fire and take out the sour plum soup. If it is summer, we can put it in the refrigerator to cool for a while. This is very delicious. After taking it out, you can add a few more ice cubes according to your personal taste, which will be even more chilled.
There are many kinds of sour plum soup powder on the market now, but actually I think the sour plum soup cooked with this material is more authentic and delicious.
