In some places in Fujian and Guangdong, there is a custom of collecting herbs to make herbal tea during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the Guanzhong area of ??Shaanxi Province, there is also the custom of frying fried cakes and sending fried cakes on Dragon Boat Festival. The locals wrap the hot noodles with sugar, osmanthus, walnut kernels and other fillings, and fry them in a pan to form an oil cake that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The texture is crispy and sweet. Oil cake has a lot of white sugar filling, and the filling flows easily when heated, so it is also called "living sugar oil cake". The appearance of the oil cake is deep red, which also means that life is prosperous.

7. Sugared Garlic

Everyone knows that garlic can reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, but few people can tolerate the spicy and heart-burning effects of eating it raw. However, after garlic is pickled with sugar, a wonderful chemical reaction will occur. The spiciness of garlic is greatly reduced, and it tastes crisp and refreshing.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and people are prone to getting angry. Prepare some sugar garlic at home. Eating some can clear the fire.
