酸梅汤 or sour prune drink is a traditional Northern Chinese beverage made from smoked plums (乌梅). It is also a drink prepared mainly during the summertime, it is believed to relief heat from body in hot weather, it is also used to ease digestions.
As the weather approaching 3 digits in the past days, I made this for the family instead of having sodas!
酸梅汤是中国北方的传统饮料,一般夏天制作来解暑散热。
上周天气都上百华氏度了,做一大瓶酸梅汤冰镇在冰箱里。比喝汽水冷饮还要好呢!
