Dog days are the easiest time for cold and dampness to invade, because everyone is hiding in air-conditioned rooms, sweating little, 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 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 in cooking to remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance, or soaked in brown sugar, which has the effect of expelling cold.
Today, I will share with you a way to eat ginger, specifically, it should be "drinking". Is ginger still drinkable? Is it made into ginger juice? Let's share the specific practices below. If you want to have a good figure in dog days, you should always "drink ginger".

working methods
The first step is to wash ginger with clear water. As long as it is not a newly dug tender ginger, it is very easy to wash, and it is basically washed twice with clean water. Ginger is cut into filaments. You can use tender ginger, ginger and old ginger. Ginger tastes more spicy.
Step 2: Wash the rice twice with clear water. Now the rice is also very clean. Do not need to rub it many times. Just wash off the floating ash, which can retain the nutrients. After washing rice, drain the water.
Step 3: In a clean wok, without oil or water, add shredded ginger and stir-fry for a few minutes with low fire, then add the drained rice and stir-fry together until the rice is dry and yellow.
Step 4: Pour the fried shredded ginger and rice into the air to cool, then put it into a sealed bottle without water and oil, and store it in a cool and ventilated place, and the ginger and rice tea will be ready.
How to drink ginger rice tea?
I suggest a drink in the morning and a drink in the evening. When drinking, scoop a spoonful of ginger rice tea into a cup and add boiling water for brewing. Or according to personal taste, add Lycium barbarum, red dates, green tea, etc. Soak in boiling water for 10 minute, and drink after the color turns yellow.
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 on hot days. Pay attention to three points when doing it:
(1) The whole process should be fried with a small fire. Rice is easily cooked by fire, and it is still raw. Don't worry, just fry the shredded ginger and rice until they turn yellow.
After the ginger rice tea is fried, it must be cooled before packaging. If it is put into a sealed can while it is hot, the hot air will form water droplets, which will damp the ginger and rice tea and make it moldy and broken easily.
Although shredded ginger and rice have been fried, they must be brewed with boiling water, otherwise the ginger rice tea will turn into rice paste.
