We can drink more soup in summer, and we often drink some soup boiled by mung beans. Especially in Guangdong, the weather is humid at this time of year, which leads to heavy moisture. Therefore, we should always prepare some mung beans and coix seed at home, and drink some every morning and evening to get rid of the moisture in the body and reduce the occurrence of diseases. It is also a bright spot to have a tonic recipe in the diet. In addition to being light, it also has the effect of detoxification.
Mung beans are indispensable in dampness-removing soup, and there are buds made of mung beans, which are also good for your health if you eat them often. Because of its high nutritional value, it can also expel moisture from the body and boil it into soup, which is good for adults and children. For example, after cooling the cooked food, put it in the refrigerator for a few hours, and have a bowl in the summer when the heat is unbearable, which not only relieves the cold drink, but also fills it up. As it gets hotter and hotter in summer, it is common to suffer from insomnia at night, even if you stay up late. Therefore, in order to improve your sleep, you can try to eat some food that will help you sleep. I added two ingredients to mung bean soup, one of which is lotus seed, which has the effect of calming the nerves, not to mention the nutritional value of lily, which is nourishing and not hot. Combining these three ingredients together can not only clear away heat and relieve summer heat, but also help you get rid of heat. Lily also has the effect of tonifying deficiency and calming the nerves. So don't miss the soup suitable for summer.

Ingredients: mung bean150g, white lotus seed100g, lily 50g and appropriate amount of brown sugar.
Practice:
Step 1: First, put these three kinds of food into a bowl and wash them once, then take them out and drain them for later use. It is best to choose lotus plumule for lotus seeds, so as not to be bitter.
Step 2: Prepare a pressure cooker or a rice cooker, put all these ingredients in the pot and stew for 1 hour, until the nutrients are soft and rotten, and then turn off the fire.
The third step: the last step is to add brown sugar or rock sugar. This soup is not only suitable for summer when the humidity is relatively high, but also helps to sleep. Lotus seeds can soothe the nerves and replenish the brain.
Step 4: In order to shorten the time, you can soak all the ingredients in water once in advance. Otherwise, it is difficult to cook soft and rotten, and you can also add some ingredients such as red dates and medlar to replenish qi and blood according to your own preferences.
It is best to soak mung beans for 5 hours in advance, and then boil them after they swell, and they will soon be cooked soft and rotten. Mung beans can not only be boiled into soup, but also made into mung bean paste and mung bean cake, all of which are very suitable for this summer.
