Preparation and efficacy of red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup

I believe that the phrase you hear most often when watching palace dramas is "Empress, this red dates, tremella and lotus seeds soup is made by the imperial kitchen." So how is this red dates, tremella and lotus seeds soup made?

Preparation and steps of red dates, white fungus and lotus seed soup

1. Put Tremella fuciformis and lotus seeds into a large bowl and soak them in cold water for 1 hour;

2. When the Tremella fuciformis becomes soft, use scissors to cut off the yellow hardened part and tear it into pieces. The smaller the pieces, the better. Put them into the pot together with the lotus seeds, add water, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook for 15-20 minutes.

3. After cooking, pour the ingredients and soup into the Thermos thermos, making sure the water level is 2 cm from the bottom edge of the bottle;

4. Add washed wolfberries and red dates; then add appropriate amount of rock sugar; tighten the cork and the outer cap and leave it overnight; in the morning, open the bottle cap, stir well and then drink.

Tips:

1. Don’t choose white Tremella, as it is often chemically processed. It is best to choose slightly yellowish ones without a pungent smell.

2. It is best not to reheat Tremella before eating, so do not make too much at one time, and make only as much as you eat;

3. Make sure the water level is 1 cm away from the bottom of the bottle stopper to avoid damaging the rubber ring over time;

4. Do not put carbonated drinks or acidic juices into the cup to avoid corrosion of the cup.
