卤桔子 (932 水)

在这炎热的下午来一杯酸甜的卤桔子水必定解渴。在北马一带的咖啡店都称这水为(932)。
今天好友KM 给了我一袋的桔子所以就弄了这速成的卤桔子。


材料:
桔子一些
酸梅一些
白糖适量

做法:
1.)用刷子把桔子皮洗干净后煮滚一锅热水把桔子烫一烫后捞起滴干水。这是我的好朋友教的 。
2.)用刀把桔子上端切一下后把酸梅挤入桔子内 (最好在蒸盘内做这一个动作,当挤入酸梅时可以把挤出的桔子汁留在蒸盘内)

3.)全部桔子挤入酸梅后用白糖掩盖着桔子。
4.) 把掩盖了白糖的桔子拿去蒸至糖溶,待冷后放入干净的容器内放入冰橱即可。

5.) 要喝时,用干的汤匙拿出一,两粒的桔子及少许的汁加入白开水及冰块搅匀即可。
