冬日时尚健康保暖热饮大推荐

Sungnyung (Korea)
茶泡米汤(韩国)
Sungnyung is a Korean tisane made from boiled scorched rice. This traditional tea can be traced back to the Goryeo period (918 to 1392). People pour hot water over the parched layer of rice on the bottom of the pot. Sometimes they burn it deliberately, roasting rice in a dry pan until it browns and smells nutty, and then brewing it with hot water for about 10 minutes. Its taste is reminiscent of toast, and makes for a refreshing non-caffeinated end to a meal.
茶泡米汤是一种用锅巴煮制而成的韩国草本茶,这种韩国传统茶饮的历史可追溯到高丽王朝时期(918-1392)。人们用开水来冲泡锅底的锅巴。人们有时也会刻意地将米放入锅中干炒,直至把米粒炒焦并散发出坚果的香味,接着加入热水冲泡十分钟左右。茶泡米汤有股烘烤香气。饭后喝上一杯不含咖啡因的茶泡米汤提提神吧!

Ponche is a warm tropical-fruit punch, traditionally enjoyed in Mexico during Christmas time.
热水果宾治是一种热带杂果热饮,是备受墨西哥人喜爱的圣诞传统饮品。

 

The base of Mexican ponche consists of piloncillo, a dark brown unrefined cane sugar, mixed with water and cinnamon sticks. Adding guavas and tejocotes, orange-like fruits with an apple-pear taste, is a must. The tejocote’s soft flesh turns almost creamy while soaking in the ponche. Guavas add the right amount of tang and citrusy perfume.
墨西哥热水果宾治基本原料包括粗糖条、原蔗红糖、水以及肉桂。番石榴和一种看起来像桔子但吃起来像苹果梨的水果——tejocote(编者注:又被称为“墨西哥山楂”)也是必不可少的原料,这种“墨西哥山楂”在宾治里浸泡片刻后,其柔软的果肉变得入口即化。而番石榴更为宾治增添一股浓烈的柑橘果香。

It’s also possible to add other winter fruits, like apples, oranges, raisins or walnuts.
