As soon as the winter began, Grandma Liu's youngest grandson began to cough, which suddenly cast a shadow of worry on this warm home. The adults in the family were busy making chicken soup and boiling pork lung soup, but the little grandson became less and less fond of drinking it. Every time the soup is served, the child frowns, as if he is ** these greasy soups.
At this time, Uncle Wang proposed: "We have a home remedy in our hometown, cook something with apples, and the effect is quite good." But this somewhat mysterious suggestion is not very popular in the eyes of a family that pays attention to scientific health preservation.
That's all nonsense, what's the use? The little grandson's father was categorically opposed. But Grandma Liu fell into deep thought, recalling that when she was young, she had heard a lot of traditional food, not only not ***, but also light and delicious. So she decided to try it herself, maybe there was a miracle or two.
At Grandma Liu's insistence, the family conflict finally ushered in the dawn of reconciliation. She plans to cook herself and make a legendary "cough remedy" for her little grandson, using apples that everyone loves to eat and have outstanding health effects, and with a magical ingredient that moistens the lungs and dissolves phlegm, clears away heat and detoxifies - Sichuan pepper, to try the magic food therapy recommended by Uncle Wang. As for how amazing it is, it all depends on this attempt.
First of all, let's talk about how to make this apple steamed pepper water, which is known as the "cough remedy". It sounds like a fresh name, but it's actually quite easy to make. Follow the steps and you can easily become a food therapy master at home.
The first step is to prepare the ingredients, you have to go to the market to buy a fresh and crisp apple or two, and then find a little pepper, brown sugar and goji berries. These four things all sound ordinary and simple, but they have a different flavor when mixed and matched.
The second step is to wash the apples carefully, and remember not to peel off the skin, which is a good thing to do. Wet the surface of the apple with water, sprinkle a little salt, rub it twice, and finally clean it.
Then, the third step is to cut the apple in half horizontally, gently circle the flesh with a knife, and then use a small spoon to dig out the apple flesh little by little, don't dig through, otherwise all the juice below will leak out.
Step 4: After digging the apple flesh, don't put it indiscriminately, put about a pinch of peppercorns, a small piece of brown sugar, and a few wolfberries into the hole you just dug out. Does peppercorn with brown sugar sound a little strange? Don't worry, it's a combination of science and wisdom.
The fifth step is to cover the other half of the apple and carefully put it into the steamer like a treasure box. Pour some water into the pot, turn on high heat to bring the water to a boil, then turn to low heat and steam slowly for 20 minutes.
After steaming, take it out carefully, remember to pick out the peppercorns inside, and then drink this warm and fragrant soup in a small sip, cough and sore throat may really be saved. Don't forget, steamed apple flesh is also a good thing, sweet and sour, chewy, delicious and cough reliever.
This apple steamed peppercorn water awakened the family's trust in traditional wisdom and rekindled Grandma Liu's confidence in food therapy. And the little grandson's cough was slowly relieved within a few days. The old and young people in the family gathered together, admiring the magical combination of apples and peppercorns, as well as the warmth and healing brought by food therapy. The cold of winter may last for a while, but if there is such a warm combination as food therapy, the ice and snow are just another style. Healthy eating plan for the New Year
