sour plum soup
By SonnyMoen
Sour plum soup is a traditional summer drink in old Beijing. In the hot season, most people will buy bayberry and brew it themselves. Put some white sugar in it to remove the acid. After it is chilled, vendors also do this small business. There used to be an old man outside Hadmen. He often held an ice cup (two small copper bowls) in his hand to make a noise to attract attention and sell it while walking.
