Material

50g mung beans, 1 pack of green tea, 5g rock sugar, 200ml milk, 5g white sugar

practice

1. Ingredients preparation: Pick and wash the mung beans.

2. Take a casserole, put in half a pot of water and bring to a boil, then put in mung beans and cook over high heat.

3. After boiling, cook on high heat for two minutes. When the soup turns emerald green, pour the mung bean soup into a glass container and filter it with gauze.

4. Put in the green tea bag, pull it a few times to bring out the tea aroma, and add rock sugar or granulated sugar while it is still hot. The rock sugar will melt easily at this time.

5. Pour the mung beans filtered out in step 3 back into the casserole, add about 5 times more water than the mung beans, continue to boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook the mung beans until they are soft.

6. Add appropriate amount of white sugar and season it into candied beans.

7. After the mung bean tea in step 6 has cooled slightly, add milk and mix well. This is mung bean milk tea. If you like, add candied beans to the milk tea and drink it together.

Tips

1. It is best to cook mung beans in a casserole. Do not use an iron pot or an iron shovel or spoon to stir, otherwise the mung bean soup will turn red or dark.

2. Boil water first, then put in mung beans and cook. This will make the mung bean soup greener and last longer.

Mung bean powder has a significant lipid-lowering effect. Mung beans contain a kind of globulin and polysaccharide, which can promote the decomposition of cholesterol in the animal body into bile acid in the liver, accelerate the secretion of bile salts in bile and reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine.

The active ingredients of mung beans have anti-allergic effects and can assist in the treatment of allergic reactions such as urticaria. Mung beans have an inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus. The protein and phospholipids contained in mung beans can stimulate nerves and increase appetite. Mung beans are rich in trypsin inhibitors, which can protect the liver, reduce protein breakdown, reduce azotemia, and thus protect the kidneys.

How to buy

1. Determine whether the mung beans are fresh. When choosing mung beans, be sure to choose those that are not moldy, insect-infested, or spoiled. Fresh mung beans should be bright green, while old mung beans will turn yellow.

2. Determine whether mung beans are contaminated. To see whether mung beans are contaminated, one is to see whether the mung beans are shriveled and wrinkled, and the other is to see whether the mung beans have a pungent chemical smell.

3. Mung beans that are uniform in size and free of impurities and worm holes are high-quality mung beans; low-quality mung beans contain a lot of impurities such as sand and gravel, and most of them have high water content and are easily affected by moisture and mold. You can feel the dampness by putting your hand into the mung bean bag.
