Candied lotus seeds

Overview

Lotus seeds have the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, calming qi and calming the mind. They are an ancient food ingredient in my country and have a long history of consumption. The traditional way to cook lotus seeds is to cook lotus seeds and white fungus into porridge, but what I recommend today is a simple way to make candied lotus seeds. Take a few pills before going to bed to eliminate irritability and fall asleep peacefully.
