Ancient sour plum soup

Overview

The traditional Old Beijing Sour Plum Soup is made from the sour and refreshing black plum, hawthorn to lower fat and blood pressure, licorice to nourish the skin, osmanthus to clear away heat and fire, and rock sugar to nourish the lungs. Roselle flowers and tangerine peel are also added here to increase the acidity. It is definitely a thirst-quenching drink exclusively for summer.
