Detailed description of raw material steps:
Myrica rubra, honey, candied dates, roses, sugar.
red bayberry
Of course, Yangmei should be washed carefully, because it is easy to hide some bugs. After washing, choose a big, full and dark red one, not too much, about 25 pieces, put it in a big bowl, sprinkle with four spoonfuls of sugar and marinate. Cover the bowl and shake it up and down a few times to distribute the sugar evenly.
Choose 8 candied dates, put them in a pot and pour a bowl of water. First, burn it quickly with strong fire, and then cook it slowly with slow fire to extract the sugar in the candied dates. When cooking dates, mix honey in another big bowl, about 4 spoonfuls, and stir well. Sprinkle 7 or 8 rose buds for later use. Because the sweetness of honey is natural, sweeter and has room for aftertaste, unlike sugar.
After the candied dates are burnt, the water is completely boiled, and the essence and sweetness of the candied dates are absorbed. Instead of candied dates, pour boiling water into the prepared honey bowl, then stir it evenly, and the mixed fragrance of honey and roses wraps around the nose.
Then pour the honey water into the pickled Yang Meili, and immediately cover the bowl to prevent the steam from overflowing. Then shake the bowl up and down for 2-3 minutes, so that the sour juice of Myrica rubra is completely dissolved in honey water, and then send it to the refrigerator for refrigeration.
Plum syrup
There is no process of boiling bayberry here, in order to keep the bayberry fresh and tender. Because cooking will make the water in Yangmei evaporate, and the mouth will be old and astringent. In many cooked sour plum soups, Yangmei loses its bright color and tastes like chicken ribs.
This sour plum soup, the entrance is the ethereal fragrance of roses, followed by the sweetness of honey, followed by the sour taste of bayberry, and then a little sweetness of candied dates. Progressive all the way, bittersweet, icy. It's really exhausting to hold a bowl of sour plum soup in hot weather.
At this time, bayberry is sour and sweet. It's mainly sweet, but it doesn't seem to mean sour. Just like a girl who is in love with spring, sometimes she is jealous of her lover's mind and sometimes she remembers his goodness. She seems indifferent, and her heart has been turned over a thousand times.
Drinking skills of sour plum soup
Plum syrup
1. The prepared sour plum soup can't be eaten all at once, so you can put it in the refrigerator for a few days. But at room temperature, sour plum soup is very easy to deteriorate. If you see thin bubbles floating on the surface, it means that it has deteriorated and you can't drink it.
2. Sour plum soup with licorice will have an astringent taste. Putting some ice cubes when drinking can reduce the astringency.
3, the sour plum soup made by novices is likely to be too strong or too weak, and the ratio of heat to water can only be tried!
