syrup of plum

Introduction:

"Sour plum soup is a traditional summer drink in old Beijing. In the hot season, most people buy black plum and cook it (or use red bayberry instead of black plum). Put some sugar in it to remove the acid and drink it after freezing. The raw materials of sour plum soup are black plum, hawthorn, Osmanthus fragrans, licorice and rock sugar. "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "plum fruit semi yellow, to smoke for the plum." It can remove heat and cool, relieve pain, and even cure cough, cholera and dysentery. The myth novel "the legend of the White Snake" has written the story of the epidemic of Wumei. This soup is a rare health drink in hot summer
