This summer, sour plum soup is hot "out of the circle"
It is different from milk tea, coffee, and cold drinks
Traditional Chinese medicine health tea has both food and health care functions
In one fell swoop, it became a social circle among young people
The "new favorite" of health consumption
Today, I would like to teach you a perilla drink
The drink is made of Chinese herbal medicine perilla, peaches and ginger
Through the wonderful harmony of the three
It presents a unique taste and flavor
Refreshing and delicious
It can also help awaken the sleeping taste buds of summer
Let's do it together
Perilla peach ginger
Get ready
4 fresh peaches (crisp peaches taste better)
150 grams of perilla leaves (be sure to choose the purple leaves)
1 ginger
1 lemon
Rock sugar (or white sugar is also fine), edible salt
01
The peaches are scrubbed with salt, and after removing the surface fluff, they are rinsed with water and cut into thin slices. Wash the basil leaves and cut them into strips. Wash the ginger and cut into thin slices. Wash the lemon and cut it in half to remove the seeds so that you can squeeze the lemon juice directly into it.
02
Put the chopped peaches and ginger in a bowl, add an appropriate amount of salt, and marinate for half an hour. If you are worried that the pickled peach and ginger slices are too salty, you can simply rinse them with water.
03
Perilla peach ginger
Put perilla leaves and an appropriate amount of rock sugar in a pot, add water and bring to a boil, and turn off the heat when the soup becomes darker. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir to combine. As the amount of lemon juice increases, the color of the water will gradually change to a vivid purplish red.
04
SUMMER DRINK
Take a clean sealed jar, stack peach slices, ginger slices, and perilla leaves layer by layer, pour over the cold perilla soup, and put it in the refrigerator for more than 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the peach flesh to fully absorb the flavor of the perilla soup.
05
Perilla peach ginger
Serve with the iced peach flesh and ginger slices, drizzle with a little soup, and serve. You can also serve a serving of perilla soup on its own, add an appropriate amount of sparkling water and ice cubes and drink it.
A unique aroma of perilla
Fresh and fruity flavor mixed with crisp peach
Plus the slight spicy ginger
The result is such a refreshing and pleasant summer sweet water
Don't hesitate, give it a try
