Origin of cao quy linh:
Cao quy linh originates from the Ham Phong era of the Qing Dynasty – China, a royal herbal remedy made from main ingredients like thổ phục linh, turtle shell, raw earth, honeysuckle, along with some other herbs. Cao quy linh resembles jelly, has a slightly bitter taste, and is black but is softer and chewier than jelly. Cao quy linh is believed to have effects like cooling the body, detoxifying, treating acne, and being good for the skin. When eaten, it is often served with honey or milk to reduce the bitterness.
- You should use a flexible plastic mold so that cao quy linh doesn’t break when removed.
- During the making process, do not let the water boil for too long, as it will cause the cao quy linh to have air bubbles when it sets, making it look unattractive.
- You should store cao quy linh in the refrigerator to use gradually during hot summer afternoons.
So, the cao quy linh dish is ready; I wish you success in making this dish and enjoy it with your family!
