Friends in a hurry can jump directly to "Recipes" and "Tutorials" to read.
On Valentine's Day, Suzhou launched an emergency mechanism for epidemic prevention and control, and a large number of citizens waited for nucleic acid testing in fixed areas.
Many restaurants are riveted to prepare a wave of wool on Valentine's Day and Lantern Festival, and finally a lonely one.
In the face of such a situation, the only way to look up at the stars and sigh ↓↓↓
In my impression, the "Starry Sky" drink first appeared in 2014, and it was particularly dreamy when it was illuminated by ultraviolet rays.
Since 2017, many milk tea shops have begun to launch the "Starry Sky" series of tea drinks on a large scale.
They add some mysterious recipes and try to make fantastic visual effects as a way to harvest the young people who enjoy it.
Later, some avant-garde bars launched the "Starry Sky" cocktail, which became the new favorite of the market overnight.
Not long after "Starry Sky", another "Galaxy" appeared, saying that it was a cup of tribute to the weaver girl and a cup to the cowherd.
Even if it is not Valentine's Day, it is still necessary to rely on these two glasses of wine to fill the atmosphere.
Mao is not easy to see, and he has to refill the lyrics of "Dispel Sorrow".
"Starry Sky" has more than one name, and depending on the recipe, some places are also called "Dream Starry Sky" and "Alice in Wonderland".
Even Li Bai, who "can pick the stars with his hands", was ashamed to hear these names.
As for those mysterious recipes, they are described in detail below.
The main reason why the "Starry Sky" cocktail looks fantastic is its color.
To be able to make this blue and purple visual effect, the butterfly bean blossom is the best to make all over the world.
Butterfly bean flower, also known as "blue butterfly", appears indigo after soaking in water, and is recognized by the FDA as an edible plant stain.
The anthocyanin content of butterfly bean flower is very high, 10 times that of ordinary plants.
In different acid-base environments, anthocyanins will show different colors, which is as expected as trick-or-treating.
Based on this characteristic, people in tropical regions often use it to make food with color.
Later, some cold drink shops and water bars found more magic uses for butterfly bean blossoms and invented a large wave of creative drinks.
Especially those layered "Starry Sky" series of drinks, many milk tea shops still enjoy it.
Later, the bar found that butterfly bean flower water has no taste, which is very suitable for acting as a dye when bartending.
Since then, Butterfly Bean Blossom has started its bar tour, and it can't stop at all.
However, the roots and seeds of butterfly bean blossoms are poisonous, so don't eat them by mistake, especially pregnant women.
The ingredients required for "Starry Sky" are very mixed, and the picture below was finally determined after I did the screening.
Because the butterfly bean flower is a new product, and there are certain requirements for the grasp of the color of the butterfly bean flower water during the bartending process, it is given a difficulty coefficient of four stars.
In practice, it is the method of redemption and harmony, but it is particularly necessary to pay attention to the order.
- Step 1: Take an appropriate amount of butterfly bean blossoms and soak them in hot water, cool them and set aside;
- Step 2: Add soda to 1/3 of a glass;
- Step 3: Add 45 ml of rum, 30 ml of peach wine, 15 ml of lemon juice, respectively;
- Step 4: Slowly mix with butterfly bean flower water until 9 points full;
- Step 5: Simply decorate the cup mouth, and the "starry sky" will be ready;
Butterfly bean flower water is indigo blue before entering the cup.
After contact with the lemon juice inside, it turns purple, which is quite a fun process.
However, it is difficult to make the desired effect of a discolored cocktail once or twice, and it is recommended to try it several times.
Specially done the color experiment of butterfly bean flower, to give you a reference:
Neutral: Blue
Acidic: Red
Alkaline environment: green
The above is an absolute value in the acid-base environment.
If the pH value floats, purple and cyan tend to appear in the two-two interval.
If you are interested, you can do it yourself, and you may have an unexpected gain.
Such characteristics can be used to modulate drinks of various colors, while controlling layering and gradient according to density, it is no wonder that tea shops and bars are so fond of butterfly bean blossoms.
If you feel that the butterfly bean flower is troublesome, you can also buy butterfly bean pollen directly.
In fact, the Starry Sky cocktail can also make a cooler effect, but it must be added to the mysterious recipe mentioned above - edible glitter powder (pearlescent powder)
When you mix the wine, put a little powder and stir slightly, and the world in the cup will rush to you like a galaxy.
Such visual effects naturally fascinate countless young girls, and the mobile phone is a wild shot.
However, it should be emphasized that the raw materials for eating glitter powder and pearlescent powder are mica powder.
Mica powder is a class of silicate minerals that contain thallium metal.
Even edible mica powder should be taken under the guidance of a physician, as an overdose can cause poisoning.
Based on this, I strongly discourage people from using glitter powder for bartending.
Those cool "starry sky" cocktails in the bar, be careful before drinking.
In addition, starry sky cocktails are generally expensive, and the taste is average, just take a photo.
There is no need to bear its product premium for the sake of self-delusion and at the same time hurt your own body.
Just use butterfly bean blossoms, nutritious and healthy.
Well, today's "Starry Sky" is shared here.
Recently, I can't go anywhere, and I sincerely hope that this epidemic will "fight in the Soviet Union" and hurry up.
