90 grams of dried hawthorn, a handful of rock sugar, 2 fruit leathers, and 1.5 liters of water.

How to make hawthorn drink to relieve summer heat :

1. Rinse the dried hawthorns, put them directly into cold water, and heat them slowly over low heat. The purpose of cooking over low heat is to bring out more of the flavor of the hawthorns.

2. Cut the fruit leather into small pieces and put them into the pot;

3. Stir the fruit leather several times within ten minutes after putting it into the pot to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. If you are lazy, cut the fruit leather into smaller pieces so that it will melt quickly in the pot.

4. Cook for at least 40 minutes to make the hawthorn drink rich in flavor. If it is cooked for a little longer, the effect will be better. Add rock sugar before serving, and turn off the heat after the rock sugar is completely melted.

5. During the cooking process, a lot of flocs will be produced. In fact, they are all edible, but filtering out the impurities will make the taste more delicate.

A few words of advice:

1. Dried hawthorn is sold in larger supermarkets and Chinese medicine stores. Be sure to wash it carefully before cooking.

2. If you like thicker juice, put sugar and hawthorn into the pot at the same time, double the amount of sugar, you can replace it with white sugar;

3. Keep the fire low throughout the cooking process.

4. After cooking, choose a glass container to store it. Do not store it in the pot for a long time to avoid chemical reactions with metals.

5. Homemade drinks do not contain preservatives, so it is best to drink them within one or two days.
