【Food in various forms】Ginger hits milk
Overview
Ginger milk is a traditional dessert in Panyu, Guangdong. It is made from milk, sugar and ginger juice, which are solidified at a suitable temperature. Ginger milk tastes mellow and smooth, sweet and slightly spicy, and has a unique flavor. It has the effects of dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation, beautifying the skin, relieving coughs and sleeping. [Official account: Huahua Shiguang] Authentic ginger milk is made by boiling fresh water milk with sugar, pouring it into a bowl, mixing it with old ginger juice, and letting it sit for a few minutes to solidify into a tofu flower shape. The production of ginger milk is relatively simple, but if you don't master the skills well, the failure rate is still quite high. Making ginger milk requires buffalo milk, because the protein content of buffalo milk is greater than that of ordinary milk. If buffalo milk is not available, you can use whole milk instead. In addition, adding two spoons of whole milk powder to the fresh milk will make it easier to succeed.
