Osmanthus lotus root soup

Osmanthus lotus root soup

Overview

Lotus root emerges from the silt without staining; lotus root gives mushrooms the feeling of sweetness. White, crunchy, and tastes a little sweet. It has a touch of sweetness and is very refreshing, as if you can see the flower fairies dancing in it. When I was a child, I always liked to use lotus root starch to make sweet soup. It is sticky, sweet and very delicious. A while ago, Gugugu read a magazine, which introduced some information about lotus root. Her true nature as a foodie chef was exposed, so she decided to try it. I am making lotus root starch at home and can make fragrant lotus root soup in minutes. Healthy and delicious, top notch. Strange to say, lotus root juice will gradually thicken and become sticky by heating and stirring, just like adding glutinous rice flour. This method of making pure natural lotus root flour at home is really very healthy. The climate in spring is still relatively dry, and many girls have started to lose weight one after another. As the saying goes, if you don't lose weight in spring, you will be miserable in summer. Lotus root can maintain skin luster, promote metabolism and prevent skin dryness. Girls, get moving~

  7. Heat slowly over medium heat. The lotus root juice changes quickly. Stir constantly and be patient. It is thin at the beginning and may suddenly become thicker. It will feel like adding glutinous rice flour. You will start to feel resistance when stirring. If you add too much water before, it will be too thin. If you add too little, it will be too thick
