1. Wash the hawthorn with cornstarch to effectively remove dust from the surface of the hawthorn. If you don't use cornstarch, you can use salt instead.
2. The hawthorn must be soaked in hot water, so that it can sterilize and disinfect the hawthorn, and also soften the hawthorn fruit meat in the hot water. This ensures that the hawthorn fruit skin does not crack easily during the cooking process, and does not wrinkle.
However, the temperature of the hot water should not be too high, preferably 50-70 degrees.
3. Remove the core from the hawthorn and soak in cold water, firstly to prevent the hawthorn core from oxidizing and changing color due to exposure to air, and secondly to ensure that the hawthorn fruit meat is softened by hot water before being soaked in cold water, which can also ensure that the hawthorn cooking process maintains its integrity.4. Use hawthorn core and hawthorn water to cook hawthorn, which can make the soup color more beautiful and the flavor more intense.
