Sugar water, Guangdong people's favorite drink in hot weather, is better than cold drinks. Drinking more in summer is sweet and delicious.

In Guangdong, in fact, you can drink different sugar water made of different ingredients all year round. Just like soup, we correspond to the changes of solar terms and our daily diet. Therefore, Guangdong's old fire soup is famous all over the country, and sugar water is equally popular in the north and south. In recent years, when more and more friends come to Guangdong to play, they will try the authentic old fire soup or the famous old sugar water shop first.

I also like to drink sugar water, especially in hot summer. Drinking sugar water can quench your thirst, and the light sweetness is matched with various summer ingredients. After a bowl, I will eliminate my anger and leave a clear heart and water. But now many young people like to drink cold drinks. In fact, the temperature difference in the real environment is different from everyone's physique. Drinking cold drinks often is not good for health, so even in hot summer, I will prepare some normal-temperature drinks or sugar water for my family to drink, to avoid the stimulation of cold drinks on the spleen and stomach, which may easily lead to indigestion or various chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

The sugar water shared today is often drunk by Cantonese people at home. It is suitable for all ages. Please stop drinking herbal tea. Herbal tea is not for everyone. Take 2 minutes to get to know it.

Materials: 250g cogongrass rhizome, 2 white sugarcane, carrot 1 root, horseshoe 8- 10, 2 liters of clean water.

Specific steps:

1. This white slender one looks a bit like a broken ear root, that is, a grass root, which is also a plant growing in the ground, but unlike the broken ear root, it has no fishy smell and is slender and easy to break, so 2-3 yuan is enough in the market. In addition, it is this blue and white sugarcane that is used to make sugar water. Unlike the black sugar cane we usually eat, white sugar cane is more suitable for making soup and sugar water.

2. Wipe the white cane with a sponge, cut it into sections with a knife and cut it in half. A section of white sugar cane can be cut into four parts.

3. horseshoes are not introduced much. Aquatic plants have the function of clearing heat and diuresis, and the taste is crisp and tender. They can also be eaten as fruits. You can buy peeled or peeled horseshoes in the market. Cut the horseshoe in half. Carrots are rich in carotene and vitamins. After peeling, cut into hob blocks.

Because most of the roots are connected together, in order to facilitate cooking, it is best to cut the roots into small pieces with scissors and then rinse them.

5. Put all the ingredients in the soup pot. The soup pot should be water-free and oil-free. Add 2 liters of clean water (about the weight of a family of four), put it on a gas stove and bring it to a boil, then turn to low heat and cook for 30 minutes.

Although this syrup is not as thick as mung bean paste, the color of the syrup is relatively clear, but after boiling, it will slowly boil out the sweetness of cogongrass and white sugar cane, and the horseshoe is also sweet, which is most suitable for drinking at room temperature and can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. After drinking a bowl, the feeling of dryness and heat will completely disappear. It is a must-have homemade syrup for Cantonese people in summer.

Tip:

For people with constitution or spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, they can drink it properly. People who get angry easily in hot weather can cook it twice a week, or they can get angry slowly. Don't be too hasty When they are angry, they should drink herbal tea or take various drugs that can reduce their anger.
