I was once asked by a magazine to make a summer drink, sour plum soup. It's actually very easy to make this soup, but ingredients are a bit more complicated and cooking method remains same, it's quite simple! Since recipe for this sour plum soup was given by editor of magazine, in order to meet their requirements, I followed their recipe, but I feel that sourness of this soup is not enough. If I drink it at home, it is best to increase amount of hawthorn and reduce amount of cinnamon and cloves. and taste of traditional Chinese medicine will be much less. If you don't like taste of traditional Chinese medicine at all, you can simply remove two ingredients: cinnamon and cloves. . . . . .
Ingredients 20 black plums 8 pieces of hawthorn 5 grams of licorice a small piece of tangerine peel
First, rinse ebony plum 5 or 6 times, if you are afraid of smell of medicine, you can rinse several times, then rinse hawthorn, licorice, mandarin peel, cloves and cinnamon, mix into a saucepan, add rock sugar and water
