Homemade sour plum soup

Overview

Sour plum soup is a traditional Chinese folk refreshing drink with a long history. In the hot summer, drinking a cup of iced sour plum soup can quench thirst, relieve irritability and relieve heat. It can also stimulate appetite and replenish water, which is much better than those carbonated drinks. Although sour plum soup tastes sour, it is an alkaline food. If you eat too much acidic foods such as meat, drinking some sour plum soup will help balance the pH value of the blood in the body. In addition, sour plum soup can also reduce liver fire and help digestion. Those with strong liver fire should consume more sour plum soup.
