Among the famous snacks in old Beijing, many popular liquid foods are also included. For example, I introduced it in my diary before: flour tea, tofu pudding, and almond tofu. In fact, there are many more! Sweet liquid foods include tea soup, red bean porridge, purple rice porridge, fruit cheese, fresh cheese, etc. There are a lot of sweet and salty foods.

Among these famous liquid foods, there is a delicacy called "Almond Tea", which is simple and delicious and is very popular among old Beijingers. The way to eat it is similar to flour tea, except it is sweet. When eaten, the flavor of almond and osmanthus are strong, and the taste is smooth and very refreshing. It is suitable for all seasons!

Today, I will introduce to you this delicious dessert "Almond Tea" in old Beijing. The ingredients used for almond tea are very simple, mainly rice, glutinous rice (glutinous rice), almonds, osmanthus paste, white sugar, etc. After serving in a bowl, garnish with a little green silk and red silk from old Beijing and cooked black sesame seeds. It's delicious!

    1. If you can buy rice flour and glutinous rice flour, you don't need rice grains; you can simply stir them into a paste to make it. 2. Almond flour is sold at the grain counters of major supermarkets. You can also make it yourself using almonds, but they need to be soaked and peeled. 3. In the South, you can also use osmanthus sugar, dried osmanthus, or osmanthus jam. 4. Do not cook it until it is too thick; it just needs to have a flowing consistency. If it is too thick, you can add some water while cooking, but it is best to add the right amount of water at once. 5. If you do not have green and red candied peel, you can put in some chopped dried fruit as a substitute.
