Chapter 352 Jasmine Hawthorn Plum
So Li Mumu decisively gave up the idea of ​​adding ice to fruit tea.

What she is now considering is whether she can use some ice to act as a refrigerator in the store to cool down the fruit tea and also cool it down to relieve the heat.

And the consumption of ice cubes is not as much as putting it directly into drinks.

You can give it a try.

The only problem is how to store ice cubes for as long as possible.

It is impossible to have a big ice cellar like the palace.

There is a bronze one in the palace. Except that it cannot be powered, in other aspects it is very similar to the refrigerator of later generations, that is, it can put fruits inside to freeze it in the summer.

Just because ice is hard to come by, it is only moved out in summer.

There are not many of these things even in the palace.

As far as Li Mumu knew, there was one for the saint, one for the queen mother, and one for the prince.

It's gone elsewhere.

There are only three of them in the entire palace, which shows that they are rare.

Li Mumu didn't expect that she could find someone to make this thing, so she thought about whether she could make a simple version that was smaller and cheaper.

Just extend the storage time of the ice cubes as much as possible.

Li Mumu went to find Master Guan.

Master Guan is well-informed and may know something.

Unexpectedly, Gu Baijin happened to be here when he was looking for Master Guan.

After hearing what Li Mumu said, he immediately became interested.

He said that he would study with Master Guan.

However, this cannot be studied overnight.

Even if it is researched, it still takes time to produce it.

So Li Mumu asked Guan Fuzi and Gu Baijin to study it first.

She came out with the drink recipes first.

For the fruit teas she drank in later generations, such as Xue Xue, Xi X, Tea X Tao, etc., Li Mumu only knew roughly what was put in them, but the proportions were not clear.

The proportion requires constant debugging.

Li Mumu made use of the fruits available on the market and selected citrus, peaches, apricots, hawthorns, bayberries, grapes and pears.

For tea, I chose green tea and Jin Junmei.

Naturally, I didn't choose any high-quality tea, I just chose a very ordinary grade, which is enough to have a tea aroma and a refreshing taste.

Also purchased dried roses, dried jasmine and dried osmanthus.

Li Mumu used hawthorn and bayberry with a green tea base, and added a little dried jasmine.

I kept adjusting the ratio of hawthorn and bayberry, and then adjusted the sweetness, and finally found the taste I like.

Then use citrus and grapes to match the black tea base, add dried osmanthus and a little sugar.

Peach and black tea with a hint of jasmine.

Li Mumu tried various combinations, as well as individual citrus and green tea bases.

Apricot and pear with a black tea base.

Hawthorn and apricot are paired with a green tea base and a touch of rose.

In addition, try rearranging and mixing these fruits with tea and dried flowers to see if you can create a different new taste.

Li Mumu mixed each combination and poured it into a small tea cup. Make a mark on the paper and stick it on the tea cup.

It happened that everyone in the Gu family was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard at this time.

The capital has already become hot in mid-May, and now it's the end of May, and everyone can't cheer up because of the heat.

Cicadas were chirping in the courtyard, and occasionally a bit of wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Father Gu was sitting on a recliner, drinking tea, and said to Mother Gu, "Human, it's really hard to go from luxury to frugality. When we were in Yong'an Village, the summer was much hotter than in the capital. We were wearing high hats Sun, busy outside."

"You and your daughter-in-law do housework at home, feed the chickens and ducks, and are busy all the time. I take my sons to the fields and work hard under the sun. I have been doing this for many years and I don't feel that I am unbearable." Father Gu said , "Although the sun was high in the sky and the weather was scorching, I still felt uncomfortable, but I got over it."

"Now we don't have to do anything at home all day long. It's not June yet. We don't have to do any work every day, but we are so hot that we don't like to move. It's very difficult." Father Gu shook his head and took another sip of tea.

"Who says it isn't?" Gu's mother said, "It's such a hot day, I don't know what Mumu is busy with in the kitchen. Gu Mian, tell Madam to rest."

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Li Mumu coming with several servants.

The servants all held trays with many teacups lined up on them.

"Mumu, what did you mess up?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

"The newly developed fruit tea." Li Mumu said, "I have been studying the combination of fruits and tea these days."

"Pairing fruit with tea? What does it taste like?" Zhang Caiping asked curiously.

"How about you try it?" Li Mumu said, "Now that the weather is starting to get hotter, I thought that if possible, I would sell it in the shop. It clears away heat and relieves the heat. Drinking such a cup on a hot day is very good. It’s refreshing.”

"Because there are many flavors, I put a name on each cup." Li Mumu said, "I will write down which one you think tastes good."

The servant brought the tray in front of everyone.

Gu's father and mother stared at him. They were illiterate at first.

But since they came to the capital, Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu's status became higher and higher.

They felt that they could not embarrass Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu when they went out to socialize, so they started practicing calligraphy spontaneously.

You can even say a lot of idioms casually.

Although I can't recognize all the characters now, it is enough.

The same is true for Wang Cuizhen and Zhang Caiping.

At this moment, everyone looked at the name on the cup.

"Jasmine Hawthorn Meimei?" Gu's mother said curiously, "What is this?"

"This is hawthorn and bayberry jasmine green tea, which is made by brewing green tea and dried jasmine flowers with water, adding hawthorn juice and bayberry juice, and mixing bayberry pulp. But if you call it that, the name is too long, so it is called jasmine, hawthorn plum, and plum."

"This name is quite easy to pronounce." Mother Gu took a sip and looked at Li Mumu with surprise, "It tastes delicious! It has the sourness of hawthorn, the sweetness of bayberry, and the fragrance of jasmine. Plus the taste of green tea, Refreshing and refreshing.”

Gu's mother reminisced, "Even after swallowing it for a long time, the mouth is still full of saliva, full of sweetness and endless aftertaste."

Mother Gu said and took another sip, "There is also bayberry pulp!"

"Green tea is too bitter to drink alone, but it tastes good like this." Gu Boyuan looked at the words on the cup, "My cup is rose grape pear, it is so fragrant! Grape fragrant pear and the fragrance of rose."

Gu Boyuan smacked his mouth, "My mouth still smells good now."

"My cup is sweet-scented osmanthus. I like the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus." Gu Xiuxiu said.

"What is Baozhugan?" Wang Cuizhen asked curiously.

"Mom, try it." Gu Xiuxiu brought a glass to Wang Cuizhen.

Wang Cuizhen drank, "The beads inside are..."

"It's the pulp of citrus, and it looks like popping pearls when you bite it. It's made with a mixture of osmanthus, green tea and citrus, so it's called osmanthus popping citrus."
