I had a cold over the weekend and still has a sore throat today. The first reaction to a cold from childhood to adulthood is swelling of the tonsils and congestion of the vocal cords. At that time, the family would perform a series of dietotherapy behaviors, drinking ginger soup to sweat, eating grapefruit to relieve qi, eating kumquat to reduce phlegm, etc. The little kumquat I bought yesterday was so sour that I couldn't eat it. Originally, I wanted to pickle it directly with white sugar, but there was very little moisture after cutting it. I simply boiled a large bottle of kumquat tea and mixed it with warm water at any time. I thought it would taste almost like candied fruit, so it would be good to use it for baking.
In the afternoon, the sun was looming, and I took a nap in the yard with kumquat tea. I was always giving myself a holiday...

1. Baking soda and rice washing water have the effect of combining pesticides on the surface of vegetables and fruits. 2. The freshly cooked kumquat is sweeter. After soaking for a day, the flavor of kumquat in the kumquat water becomes stronger.
