| Strawberries!! |
Don't they look yummy....I guarantee you they taste even better than they look. These fruits are placed on a bamboo stick and then coated in a sweet syrup made from rock sugar 冰糖
Bīngtáng. Rock sugar is preferred because it offers a more complete flavor than ordinary white sugar. Although it contains mor e calories, its full taste allows you to use less of it, therefore eliminated that concern, if it is one of yours. All this transforms the fruit, already packed with nutrients, into a super duper snack for the winter.
Originally, Chinese hawthorns were used because of their contrasting sour taste. Over time, however, other tart fruits and even nuts have been introduced to this enjoyable winter snack.
Chongqing winter weather rarely drops below zero, so we can safely thank the northern states of China for sharing this with the rest of the country.
