Chapter 103: Plum Lemon Tea
All the masters and servants on the Zhuangzi had a delicious and refreshing fruit ice tray this evening.
There are a lot of fruits on the Zhuangzi, and the ones that can't be eaten will be dried in the sun.
Of course, the fresh fruit tastes good, and Aunt Yu is also generous, so they can often eat green apricots.
However, there has never been a time when the food was so refreshing.
Chilled!!
They never dared to think that they could still have such treatment.
You must know that the ice cubes of the powerful are not unlimited.
The sons and girls who have a high status in the house and are favored by the owner's family can use more, but it is impossible to use them casually from morning to night.
Those little transparent people who have no sense of existence and are not treated by the main family may not see a single piece of ice in the whole summer.
How much more are they slaves?
So, everyone is really happy to be able to eat chilled fruits now!
The fruit was so good that Xiao Nianzhi and Aunt Yu didn't eat at night.
After tossing for a day, Aunt Yu asked Xiao Nianzhi to go back to rest early.
Xiao Nianzhi is actually fine, but it's really too hot outside, and there is air conditioning in the delicious kitchen, so she can go back and enjoy it.
So, don't suffer outside here.
Qingxing came to serve her in the bath, and took away her dirty clothes.
After cleaning up, Xiao Nianzhi changed into bed clothes, slowly twisted his hair, and sent away the green apricots.
When her hair was half-dry, Xiao Nianzhi turned off the lights in the room and went into the delicious kitchen.

The experience of the fruit ice tray was delivered in time, Xiao Nianzhi glanced at it, moved a chair, and sat in the kitchen.
After the air conditioner was adjusted to 26 degrees and the heat was dispelled, Xiao Nianzhi felt that he was alive again!
In the evening, there was too much fruit to eat, so Xiao Nianzhi was not hungry now.
However, today's ingredients haven't been eaten yet, and Xiao Nianzhi is going to go over and see what else is there.
If it really doesn't work, throw it in the processor.
Maybe it's because of the summer?
Therefore, today's ingredients are particularly vegetarian, and when you see a trace of meat, they are all green vegetables.
Xiao Nianzhi picked a few, mixed a vegetable salad, and prepared to throw the rest into the processor with kitchen waste for a while.
In addition to these ingredients, today's fruit has a yellow lemon, six small green oranges and a packet of plums.
Looking at this configuration, Xiao Nianzhi felt ......
If it is ready-made, plum lemon tea is in front of her, wouldn't it be too wasteful for her not to drink it today's food supply?
So, get moving!
Plum lemon tea, said easy to do.
If you want it to taste better, make your own syrup, which will make it even sweeter.
However, if the sweetness requirements are not so high, then it is okay to substitute honey.
If you don't boil syrup, then this summer drink is directly less difficult than half.
Xiao Nianzhi went to boil the jasmine tea first, and then went to cut the lemons and green oranges.
Of these two fruits, one is cut into thin slices and the other is cut in half and seeded.
The seeds are a must, because to get the most out of the fruity aroma and juice in them, you need to mash them!
If the seeds are also mashed together, the bitterness of the seeds will affect the taste of the drink.
You don't need all the lemons for a cup of fruit tea, you can use the rest tomorrow.
Xiao Nianzhi cut three slices of lemon, used three small green apricots, cut them, put them into a drinking cup, and then mashed them to get juice.
After these were done, Xiao Nianzhi washed four more plums and threw them in, and then squeezed some honey.
Xiao Nianzhi is not Aunt Yu's kind of sweet.
So, squeeze a little bit and the flavor will be enough.
After the jasmine tea is brewed, it needs to be cooled a little.
Otherwise, as soon as the freshly boiled jasmine tea is poured down, all the ice cubes that can be put in it will melt away.
The ice drink that Xiao Nianzhi wanted might turn into hot tea.
While waiting for tea, Xiao Nianzhi was not idle.
She carefully examined the spices in the kitchen.
The spices in the kitchen and the daily necessities in the bathroom are all refreshed every day.
If you want to keep it, either take it out and put it outside, or put it in the basket above the refrigerator.
Xiao Nianzhi checked around, mainly to see if there were any good things that she needed to save, otherwise it would be too wasteful to refresh them after twelve o'clock.
After throwing all the things you like into the basket, the tea is boiled and you can take it out and let it cool.
The kitchen was air-conditioned, and the tea cooled quickly.
When he felt that the temperature was about the same, Xiao Nianzhi went to the refrigerator first, took out some of the round ice cubes, and put them in the cup.
The amount of ice cubes depends on personal preference, and Xiao Nianzhi generally puts one-third of the cup.
After it is set, pour the cooled jasmine tea on top.
When I used to make tea, the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of jasmine tea.
At this time, the fragrance of tea is more intense.
It's just that the aroma of lemons also carries the slightest sense of competition without retreating, as if they want to grab a place of their own in this space.
After pouring the tea, Xiao Nianzhi took the spoon and gently stirred it, so that the tea aroma and fruit aroma, as well as the fresh honey fragrance, and the cool feeling of the ice cubes, influenced each other, collided and fused, and stimulated the fragrance of ice and fragrance.
After mixing it a few times, Xiao Nianzhi brushed the spoon, lifted the cup, and took a sip gently.
The taste of lemon should have been domineering, but it was slightly neutralized by the sweetness of honey, with the sweet and sour taste of green oranges, and then fused with jasmine tea, the domineering cold and hard sour was wrapped in softness and fragrance, and became a delicious sweet and sour taste.
The contrast between sweet and sour is already stark, and together with the ice cubes, it simply adds a touch of lively and comfortable sweet fragrance and coolness to the whole summer.
Xiao Nianzhi squinted his eyes and enjoyed it, while thinking: The ingredients needed in this cup of summer ice drink are all available in Dajin.
It's just that it's still that problem, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the fresh fruits are not easy to preserve, so how to transport them is a big problem.
There must be a more convenient means of transportation!
But to build a train?
Xiao Nianzhi said that he really can't do it!
So, at the end of the day, it's better to upgrade early and open the study.
When the time comes, at least I have theoretical knowledge, as for how to make it?
The Ministry of Industry can't just eat dry food and not work, right?
After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but sigh lightly: she just wanted to drink a normal cup of fresh fruit tea in this era, why did she have to build a train in the end?
After another sip of plum lemon tea, feeling the cold, sweet and sour feeling, Xiao Nianzhi thought again: Drink it yourself, as for the others?
I'll talk about that later.
It's not that she doesn't work hard, it takes time and experience to upgrade the delicious kitchen!
The delicious kitchen seemed to respond to her, and a reminder of the experience quickly popped up.
