Expert comments:

Summer is full of natural yang, and it is easy to get angry, fatigue, irritability, insomnia and so on. Wu Mei's rock sugar drink comes from the classic work of Chinese medicine "Ancient Chinese Medicine in Circular Motion", which records that Wu Mei "can produce fluid but not astringent", which can help digestion. Rock sugar can benefit China and cooperate with Kiichigo acid, which is sweet and moist. The combination of the two can make the external heat and dryness converge, and there is no harm to the spleen and stomach caused by cold and cooling gunpowder. Add tangerine peel and hawthorn to regulate qi and digestion, and roses to soothe the liver and relieve depression. Full drinking is most suitable for summer heat, especially for outdoor workers and people who are easily agitated.
