How to operate

01 After buying the hawthorn, wash it clean, dissolve the baking soda in water, soak the hawthorn in it for ten minutes, then scrub it all over and rinse it with clean water.

02After washing the hawthorn, take it out and control the moisture.

03 Use a fruit knife to remove the two ends of the hawthorn. It is very simple, as shown in the picture. Just pay attention to safety.

04 There is a hawthorn seed inside the hawthorn, which is not easy to remove if you cut it with a knife. I will teach you a trick. Find a chopstick and poke it into the small head of the hawthorn, and you can directly crush the hawthorn seed out. It is very simple.

05After removing the hawthorn core, cut it into small pieces with a knife.

06 If you have a casserole, use it. If not, a milk pot will do. I didn’t bring my milk pot with me at home, so I just found a basin. Add appropriate amount of water, not a lot, and bring it to a boil.

07 After the water boils, put the cleaned and cut hawthorn pieces directly into the water.

08 After putting the hawthorn in, bring it to a boil over high heat first, then simmer over low heat. Remember to stir it every few minutes, otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pot.

09 After the hawthorn changes color, use a spoon to beat off the foam on top. Although it does not affect the efficacy and taste, it always looks unpleasant.

10 The hawthorns are boiling in the pot. Let’s not sit idle. Wash a glass or a glass bottle to hold the hawthorn brown sugar paste, and prepare a few pieces of brown sugar. Here is some scientific knowledge for everyone. Don’t choose brown sugar. It has no effect except making you fat. You must choose brown sugar made from sucrose.

11 When the hawthorn becomes thicker, press it in the pot with a large spoon to make the hawthorn pieces more broken, then add the brown sugar.

12 After putting the brown sugar into the pot, simmer it over medium heat. During this period, you need to constantly stir it clockwise with a spoon to allow all the brown sugar to melt, and be careful not to stick to the pot.

13 When all the brown sugar has melted and the hawthorn has become very thick, turn off the heat and let it cool.

14 Put the cooled hawthorn brown sugar paste into a glass jar that has been cleaned.

15 Put the hawthorn brown sugar paste into a bottle, cover it tightly with a lid, and store it directly in the refrigerator. Every time you eat it, scoop out some with a spoon, add some hot water and stir until it melts and you can drink it. You can also eat it directly. It tastes sour and sweet and is especially delicious.

The effect of cooking hawthorn with brown sugar

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, brown sugar is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the spleen. It has the effects of invigorating qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

In addition to strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, hawthorn also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. When paired with brown sugar, it is very suitable for women with menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea, delayed menstruation, and scanty menstruation caused by cold constitution, cold congestion, and poor circulation of qi and blood.

In fact, hawthorn itself is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, but adding warm brown sugar and then heating and stewing it can alleviate or even offset the coldness and stimulation of hawthorn.

In addition to strengthening the stomach and aiding digestion, hawthorn also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
