After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the food lovers all over the country were shocked

Chapter 463 Sure enough, I can learn something

Shen Huazheng asked someone to bring oranges, apples, and various spices.

Princess Lejia felt a little strange: "Zhengzheng, aren't we going to add fruit? Why are there spices?"

Shen Huazheng smiled and said, "Of course it is to make the cooked wine taste better. You will know in a moment."

She thought about it and asked someone to bring the berries that Magistrate Lin had sent some time ago.

The berries are sour and sweet and very delicious.

It can also be cooked in wine.

Qingzhi Qingtang also started to process the fruits as instructed.

The oranges and apples were soaked in salt water, rubbed repeatedly, and then taken out and wiped dry.

Qingzhi Qingtang also started to process the fruits as instructed.

Cut some of the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice.

Cut the other oranges in half, cut one half into thin slices, and insert cloves into the orange peel of the other half.

Chop the apples with the skin on into small pieces. Wash the berries and set them aside.

Shen Huazheng lit a pot, put the spices into it, and roasted them over low heat to bring out the aroma.

Then pour the orange juice and a few orange slices into the pot and start cooking.

As the temperature in the pot slowly rose, the orange juice in the pot began to boil.

Putting the spices into the pot and boiling them is to awaken the aroma inside. Boiling them for a while before adding wine and other fruits will make the taste better.

Shen Huazheng poured a proper amount of wine into the pot, then put the apples, oranges and berries that had just been cut into the pot and began to mulle the wine.

In order to make the mulled wine taste more fragrant, she also added a piece of high-quality tangerine peel into it.

Shen Huazheng had been standing next to the pot. When she saw small bubbles starting to come out of the wine in the pot, she gently stirred it with a spoon and then added rock sugar.

After the rock sugar in the pot was completely melted, Shen Huazheng covered the pot and simmered it over low heat.

As the food cooks, the flavors of wine, fruit, and spices blend in the pot, and the complex aroma gradually overflows from the pot and drifts into the air.

Shen Huazheng looked at Zhou Ying and the other two and said, "When the weather is cold, you can drink hot wine like this. After drinking a glass, your body will be warm."

Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia both nodded silently. They had been standing by and watched all the steps Shen Huazheng took to mulling the wine.

It’s a bit like making assorted fruit tea, but the ingredients are slightly different.

However, just by smelling the aroma, you know it must be delicious.

Yun Ruo had forgotten what Shen Huazheng put into the pot. She only remembered that she seemed to have put a lot of spices and fruits in the pot, and finally poured in wine.

However, seeing that Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia both nodded, she hurriedly did as they were told.

Yun Ruo sniffed the air hard; it smelled so good.

I didn’t expect that spices and fruits could be cooked in a pot with wine, and the taste would be so delicious.

It sure tastes good.

But since there are so many fruits added in it, it should be called assorted fruit wine.

I can really learn a lot from being with County Master Yinghua.

After cooking for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Huazheng asked someone to take the food out of the pot.

As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, a rich aroma hits you.

It has a mixed aroma of wine, orange, berry, apple, cinnamon and cloves, as well as the aroma of tangerine peel that is hard to ignore.

Just smelling the scent makes one's mouth water.

Shen Huazheng asked someone to pour wine into the glass, and then put a few slices of fresh orange and apple in it.

She thought about it, and asked someone to add cinnamon into the cup as a garnish, and a cup of warm mulled wine was ready.

"Okay, we can go drink some mulled wine now."
