A delicious way to improve immunity and resist windy and sandy weather - making honey kumquats

Overview

I was on the phone with a friend in Beijing the day before yesterday and I said that spring in Weihai is always windy. A friend said that Beijing is not only a problem with windy weather, but also that it occasionally brings gifts - sandstorms. My friend asked me to give me some advice on how to cook delicious food for my family to improve immunity and resist the wind and sand. It’s the perfect time for your family to eat some kumquats. Kumquats have many powerful functions, such as improving immunity, preventing colds, beautifying the skin, clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm, etc. I won’t go into details one by one, just ask Du Niang. It is best to wash kumquats and chew them directly. Kumquats contain a lot of vitamin C. Temperatures above 54 degrees will destroy part of the vitamin C. However, if you eat too much directly, you will get angry. Therefore, I always pickle fresh kumquats with molasses. This way, although some vitamin C is lost, it is not easy to get angry. The prepared honey kumquats are translucent. Not only do they look amazing, but the taste in your mouth will definitely make you fall in love with them. Put it into a sealed bottle and let your family eat it anytime. It can be eaten directly as a snack or heated with water to drink.
