Beverage
Suanmeitang is a traditional Chinese drink made by simmering dried plum, ginger and cinnamon for a long time and sweetening it with sugar, then serving it chilled over ice. Its sweet-and-sour balance and lightly smoky plum aroma make it a refreshing choice on a hot day.
Step by Step
How to make it?
2
Simmer
30 minBring to a boil then simmer over low heat for 30 minutes; the water should take on a deep reddish-brown colour.
3
Sweeten
2 minStir in the sugar until dissolved, then remove from the heat.
4
Cool and strain
20 minLet it cool, strain it, and chill in the fridge before serving.
Reminder
When straining the drink, press the plum pieces well — most of the flavour is trapped in the fruit's pulp. Do not refrigerate it while still hot, as condensation in the container can leave an unwanted residue.
Editor's Note Editörün Notu
If you cannot find dried plum, dried apricot gives a similar tartness; the flavour becomes a touch milder but the drink keeps its character.

Şerbeti 30 dakika kaynattıktan sonra rengi tarifteki kadar koyulaşmadı, benim tencerem geniş olduğu için buharlaşma daha hızlı oldu sanırım. Piknikte termosla taşımak için ne kadar önceden hazırlamalıyım?

Geniş tencerede buharlaşma gerçekten daha hızlı oluyor, isterseniz kapağı kapalı pişirip son 5 dakikada açabilirsiniz. Piknikten bir gün önce hazırlayıp soğuk termosa doldurmanızı öneririm.

Kuru erik bulamadığım için kuru kayısıyla denedim, ekşiliği biraz azaldı ama zencefilli tarçınlı aroma yine de baskın çıktı ve sonuç oldukça güzel oldu, ailem de beğendi.
