Lotus leaf coarse grain porridge
By MandyMiller
Lotus leaves are a good thing ~ Traditional Chinese medicine research results show that lotus leaves have a blood-lowering effect. Nuciferine is an alkaloid extracted from lotus leaves. Nuciferine can dilate blood vessels, clear heat and relieve summer heat, lower blood pressure, and is also a good medicine for weight loss. It has been reported that alkaloids in lotus leaves have a lipid-lowering effect and are often used clinically for the treatment of obesity. The principle of lotus leaf weight loss is that after taking it, a fat isolation film forms on the intestinal wall of the human body, which effectively prevents the absorption of fat, fundamentally reduces weight, and more effectively controls rebound. Not only that, lotus leaves also have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood, and stopping bleeding. It is suitable for dizziness caused by heat stroke, chest tightness and polydipsia, short and red urine, etc. So it's best to drink a bowl of lotus leaf porridge in summer ~ lose weight, relieve heat, and relieve boredom! Let's talk about germ rice! It is a kind of rice between brown rice and polished rice ~ because the germ inside has not been removed (the germ inside of polished rice is removed!) Therefore, the porridge made is very oily! It is precisely because the germ in the rice has not been removed that this kind of rice is not easy to preserve. I can only buy a small amount at a time at home ~ and I buy it right now!

Steps for Lotus leaf coarse grain porridge

1
Step 1: Take appropriate amount of dried lotus leaves and tear them into small pieces!
2
Step 2: Pour more than half of the pot of water into the pot and add lotus leaves! (If you want to drink thicker porridge, pour less water; if you want to drink thinner porridge, add more water!)
3
Step 3: After boiling over high heat, turn to low heat and slowly cook until the color turns from light to dark (the depth of the same color can be controlled according to the length of cooking time! I like it deeper so it takes a long time to cook!)
4
Step 4: Remove the lotus leaves from the boiled lotus leaf water! (Don't waste the lotus leaves you fished out ~ You can continue to make tea and drink it ~ or dry it ~ Use it as a spice! Put it in when cooking meat to relieve boredom!)
5
Step 5: Pour all washed miscellaneous grains into the boiled lotus leaf water! Also bring to the boil and turn to low heat and cook slowly! But be sure to stir constantly when cooking ~ otherwise you will get stuck on the bottom of the pot!

Cook until the millet is like this, and the rice will burst open ~ The most difficult thing to cook in this is the barley! As long as the barley is cooked ~ this pot of porridge can be considered cooked!Lotus leaf coarse grain porridge Make Tips
(Make sure to soak the Job's tears in advance, otherwise it will be very hard to cook!) You can also put the lotus leaf porridge in the fridge for a while before eating; it's ice-cold and refreshing! If you like it sweet, add a little honey after the porridge cools down! It's also very tasty! However, remember to wait until the porridge is completely cool before adding the honey, otherwise the nutrients in the honey will be destroyed!
