1. Green kumquat can be soaked in water and drunk directly. When soaking it in water, you need to put it in clean water first, add appropriate amount of table salt and soak it for 10 minutes. After taking it out, rub its surface vigorously, put it under running water, wash it clean, and then cut it into slices with a dry fruit knife and put it in a clean glass.

2. Prepare an appropriate amount of honey or rock sugar and put it in a glass, then pour in warm water at about 60 degrees, mix it with clean chopsticks, and then drink it directly after the honey or rock sugar is completely dissolved. Green kumquat contains a lot of vitamin C. If it is brewed with boiling water that is too hot, the vitamin C will be lost, which is not conducive to the body's absorption and utilization of the nutrients in kumquat.
