The dog days are the easiest time for cold and dampness to invade, because everyone hides in air-conditioned rooms, doesn't sweat much, and likes to eat cold food, which leads to moisture invading the human body and easily causing loss of appetite. At this time, "eliminating dampness" is the top priority.
As the old saying goes, eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is a valuable experience summed up by the ancients. Why do you eat ginger in summer? Because ginger is pungent and hot, it can sweat and relieve exterior symptoms, warm the middle and dispel cold, and help us drive away the damp and cold gas in the body and keep healthy. How to eat ginger in summer? Ginger is so spicy, let alone eating it. Many people don't even want to taste it.
Ginger is generally used as a seasoning when cooking, to remove fishy smell and increase fragrance, or to soak in brown sugar, which has the effect of expelling cold.
Today, I'm going to share with you a way to eat ginger, which should be exactly "drinking". Can ginger still be drunk? Is it made into ginger juice? Let's share the specific practices below. If you want to have a good body in the dog days, you should always "drink ginger".

Need a piece of ginger and a bowl of rice.
method of work
The first step is to wash the ginger in clean water. As long as it is not a newly dug tender ginger, it is very easy to wash, and it is basically cleaned by washing it with water twice. Ginger is cut into filaments. You can use tender ginger, ginger and old ginger. Old ginger tastes more spicy.
Step 2: Wash the rice with clear water twice. Now the rice is also very clean. It doesn't need to be rubbed or washed many times. Just wash off the floating ash, which can retain nutrients. After washing the rice, drain the water.
Step 3: In a clean wok, without adding oil or water, add shredded ginger and stir-fry for a few minutes with low fire, then add drained rice and stir-fry together, and the rice will be dried until it turns yellow.
Step 4: Pour the fried shredded ginger and rice in and let it cool, then bottle it in a water-free and oil-free sealed bottle and store it in a cool and ventilated place, and the ginger and rice tea will be ready.

Chefs talk about skills
The practice of ginger rice tea is very simple, which has the functions of strengthening the spleen and stomach and removing oil, and is especially suitable for drinking in hot dog days. Pay attention to three points when doing it:
(1) the whole process should be fried with a small fire. The rice is easily fried by the fire, and it is still raw. Don't worry, just fry the shredded ginger and rice until they turn yellow.
2 After the ginger rice tea is fried, it must be cooled before it can be packed. If it is put into a sealed can while it is hot, the hot air will form water droplets, which will make the ginger rice tea damp and easy to be moldy and broken.
Although shredded ginger and rice have been fried, they must be brewed with boiling water, otherwise the ginger rice tea will become rice paste.
