Detailed Cooking Steps for Warming Ginger and Brown Sugar Paste for Winter Menstrual Pain in Girls
Rinse the fresh ginger with water, peel it, and let it dry.
Choose high-quality brown sugar instead of raw sugar. If not available in supermarkets, try a Chinese herbal store. Filter the ginger juice from the ginger pulp using a cheesecloth and pour it into a non-stick pan. Heat it up and gradually melt the brown sugar in the pan, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pour the prepared ginger pulp into the sugar pan gradually while stirring continuously. Ensure the temperature is even without significant fluctuations.
Simmer over low heat for a longer time to achieve a uniform paste without layering. Have someone stir continuously during this process.
Once the brown sugar and ginger pulp are completely blended, remove from heat and let it cool down. When the temperature drops to 50-60 degrees, pour in the raw honey and mix well. The amount of honey added can vary based on personal preference, typically 200-300g.
Once the temperature drops to 30-40 degrees, the paste can be removed from the heat and stored.
