Homemade sour plum soup

Overview

In the hot summer, my son especially wants to drink sour plum soup. I took a closer look at the sour plum powder I bought in the supermarket. It actually has many ingredients and a lot of preservatives. So I thought I'd better cook it myself, work harder, and sacrifice some of my entertainment time in order to raise a good pig.
