How to Make Rose Hawthorn Rice Porridge

    Hawthorn assists in digestion, lowers blood cholesterol, and has anti-atherosclerosis properties. Rose petals are sweet and slightly bitter with a warm nature. Their most notable effect is to regulate qi, resolve depression, promote blood circulation, and stop pain. In addition, rose petals have a very gentle medicinal property. They can nourish the heart and liver meridians, release internal depressed qi, and provide sedative, soothing, and anti-depressive effects.Rice for use in making porridgeMATERIALS AND UTENSILS

    TIP:

    Alternatively, you can use a regular pot for this recipe. I prefer an electric cooker because it's more convenient and I don't need to stir, plus I only cook enough for one person.

    You can also use a wok, but for convenience and since I'm eating alone and not making much, it's just right without stirring.
