You first check to see if there are any borers or mildew on the hawthorn!
If not, this is how I did it, you can try it!
1. First soak ebony plums and hawthorns in light salt water or rice washing water for 5 minutes (if ebony plums and hawthorns are dried products, it will take longer and they should be soaked separately), wash and dry.
2. Add the amount of ebony plum, hawthorn and water (boiled in cold water) according to personal preference. Wait until the water boils and you can smell the sour aroma of ebony plum and hawthorn before adding rock sugar. 3. Licorice can only be boiled in water alone and then cooled.
4. Add licorice water, osmanthus (Ronggui is better), and a little minced cloves to the cooked black plum and hawthorn soup (cold in summer or hot in winter).
