【How to make ginger and milk】
Clean the old ginger, peel off the outer skin, and then rub it into thin shreds or ginger paste, which is more convenient to make ginger juice. The ginger protease in ginger juice is prone to failure when exposed to the air for a long time, so it is recommended to grind ginger juice fresh Use it now; pour the ground ginger or minced ginger on the colander, press out the ginger juice, press as hard as possible, and extract all the ginger juice;
Add about 15g of pressed ginger juice to each bowl, and about 30g of ginger juice used in two bowls, set aside for later use;
Prepare a milk pot, add 360g of whole milk, 30g of milk powder, and 20g of sugar into the pot. Stir the milk powder to dissolve first, and then heat it on a low heat. Adding milk powder is to increase the protein content in the milk, the better the protein content , the better the coagulation effect, the amount of sugar determines the sweetness of your prepared ginger milk, and it has nothing to do with whether it coagulates or not;
The milk in the milk pot does not need to be completely boiled. Prepare a thermometer and heat the milk to about 80 degrees. After cooking, quickly stir the ginger juice in the bowl with a spoon to avoid precipitation of the ginger juice;
Then take the milk that has been boiled to 80 degrees higher, and pour it directly into the bowl with ginger juice. This kind of "collision" is actually for better fusion. Do not stir the milk after it is washed in. Set aside, when the temperature drops to 70 degrees, it will condense;
After the coagulation is successful, the ginger milk is completed. The surface of the finished ginger milk is fine and smooth. Scoop a spoonful and it will melt in the mouth. The slightly spicy ginger juice and the aroma of milk are perfectly combined;
