The first time, why is it called dog days? In fact, this is relative to Yin Qi, because three days is the peak of Yang Qi, and Yin Qi has to be forced to fall to the bottom, so it is called dog days. There is a slight summer high temperature and a great summer high temperature between the dog days, so the dog days are doomed to be a difficult period.

Although it is very hot in the dog days, it is also the day when the cold easily invades our bodies, so we should eat more foods that can dissipate heat and remove dampness on such days, among which ginger is a good choice. Old people often say that ginger is the most important food in summer. I don't quite understand, but when I grow up, I gradually understand the truth.

Ginger is not only a condiment in our daily life, but also a very delicious food. Many people find it unpalatable because they have not mastered the correct method of making it. Ginger can actually be used to make ginger candy, which is cheap, affordable, healthy and safe.

Cooking method

Step 1: Wash, peel and cut ginger into small pieces, and add a little water to make ginger paste for post-production.

Step 2: Add a little water to the pot, and add maltose and rock sugar. You can't have too much water. If you think it's not enough, you can add it later. Turn on a small fire and slowly melt the sugar. Stir constantly with a spoon to avoid sticking to the pot and let the sugar heat evenly.

Step 3: After all the sugar is melted, add chopped garlic and stew slowly. The whole process is a small fire and may take a long time. Everyone must be patient.

Step 4: When the syrup becomes thick, you can feel obvious resistance when pushing it, and when the sugar color turns dark, you can basically turn off the fire.

Step 5: Pour the syrup into the grinder to cool, stick a little glutinous rice flour, and cut it into your favorite size to eat. Such snacks are suitable for adults and children.

You just need to refrigerate normally and take out some food if necessary. Interested friends try it quickly.
