Step 1: Put the broken rock sugar into the pot, pour in the same amount of boiling water, and heat it on medium heat. You can slowly stir it with a shovel to speed up the dissolution of rock sugar.

Step 2: When all the crystal sugar is dissolved, turn to low heat and heat it slowly. This time is a little long, about seven or eight minutes (those who have survived the moon cake syrup should be very experienced, and they are all the same, except that there is citric acid in it, so it has not solidified).

Step 3: Observe the foam of the sugar solution carefully. When the color of the sugar solution becomes a little yellow and the foam is numerous and crowded, it is almost ready. Put the bunched hawthorn in and roll it quickly, take it out and put it in an oiled iron plate, and let it solidify in the cold place for 10 minute.

Data expansion: Boiling sugar: Sugar and water are poured into the pot according to the ratio of 2:1,and boiled for about 20 minutes with strong fire, during which stirring can be carried out. Note that after 20 minutes, there is little water and the boiling is very fierce, and the sugar has emerged tiny and dense bubbles, just like light golden beer. You can dip your chopsticks in the syrup. If you can pull out the silk slightly, it means you are ready. If the time is too long, the color will turn brown, and if the silk can be obviously pulled out, it means that the sugar is burnt and loses its original sweetness. Remember, try not to blow when cooking soup, so that the sugar color can be bright.
