Drying ginger is a hot custom in summer.

The so-called "eat radish in winter and ginger in summer" has the custom of "drying ginger" in summer.

Before and after the heat, the ancients adapted to the weather, accepted the heat of the sun, and basked in the sun in the dog days. This is a good habit to keep healthy. Not only should we bask in our backs, but Shanxi and Henan should also seize the time to bask in ginger.

Because it is the hottest day of the year and the sun is the most poisonous, people think that ginger dried in this way has the best curative effect. The act of drying ginger on this day is called "drying ginger".

Drying ginger in summer is a custom of mixing ginger and brown sugar, putting them in a container, sealing them with gauze and drying them in the sun. It originated in Shanxi, Henan and other places in China.

After drying, make a cup for your family every morning, mainly because ginger is a positive substance and is suitable for eating on a hot day.

Dried ginger practice:

Cut the ginger into pieces and expose it to the sun on the day when the solar term begins and the day when the sun comes out. The ginger exposed in this way is called "Fu Jiang". Soaking ginger in water can dispel cold and dampness, which is a relatively simple method of drying ginger. Another way, which tastes better and is more acceptable, is to make ginger tea.

Need to prepare: 500 grams of ginger and 200 grams of brown sugar.

Specific practices:

1, peeled ginger and cut into pieces.

2, a layer of ginger, a layer of brown sugar overlapping flat in the container.

3. Seal the mouth of the container with gauze and expose it to the sun for a whole day until the brown sugar melts and the ginger turns black; If there is no sunshine in hot summer, we can continue to bask in the sun in the dog days.

4, sealed and preserved, each time take a spoonful of boiling water to brew and drink, so as to get a cup of ginger tea.
