Red perilla juice (Cooking, Prose )

Finished

Preparation

After boiling

Red perilla, an essential ingredient in the umeboshi plums that adorn the Japanese diet, produces delicious deep red juice. Rich in vitamin A and polyphenols, it gives you the energy to get through the summer, just like umeboshi plums.

When sugar and citric acid are added to the dark broth of boiled red perilla, it turns a vibrant deep red and can be drunk with ice or chilled carbonated water.

The ingredients are 2 liters of water, 300g of red perilla leaves, 500g of sugar, and 25g of citric acid. It will be refrigerated for 2-3 months.

赤シソのジュース（料理、散文詩）

日本の食を彩る「梅干し」に欠かせない赤シソは、また深紅で美味しいジュースをもたらしてくれる。ビタミンA、ポリフェノールに富み、梅干しのように、夏を乗り切る活力を付与してくれる。

煮出した赤シソの黒っぽい煮汁に、砂糖、クエン酸を加えると、鮮やかな深紅に変わり、氷水や冷やした炭酸水で飲む。

分量は水２リットル、赤シソの葉３００ｇ、砂糖５００ｇ、クエン酸２５ｇである。冷蔵して２，３か月は持つ。

ベランダで毎年こぼれ種から自生する紫蘇 🌱 今年はちょっと大きく育てようかと思って摘芯しました。摘んだ穂先はとりあえず保水容器に。もしかしたらまたここから根っこが生えてくるかな？ 大きな葉っぱは明日のお蕎麦の薬味だな 😁

📁

📁 for a random but completely useless headcanon

I can’t recall if I’ve ever said this one before. Maybe I called it a crack theory at the time... but I do headcanon that Vincent used to drink the same elixir that Irene Diaz drinks to make herself look younger than she is. Red perilla extract. Vincent is older than Rachel, and Yana-san tweeted that Vincent was very self-conscious about it and did what he could to look younger and “keep up” with her.

In the Weston arc, Edward is particularly surprised to learn that his own father, Alexis, is younger than “Uncle Vincent”.

Irene Diaz is 12 years older than Grimsby Keane, and her youthfulness is supposedly all thanks to this plant: red perilla (aka red shiso), a member of the mint family.

So, I headcanon that Vincent regularly drank an elixir containing red shiso/perilla extract.

I don’t see how it’s particularly important to the plot, so I leave it here.

Umeboshi, homemade (cooking)

Umeboshi is a preserved food made by pickling plums in salt and then drying them in the sun. So it's not a "pickle", it's a dried food. It has a strong sour taste, increases appetite, kills bacteria and prevents food poisoning. It is also good for "morning sickness" in pregnant women. Japanese wisdom.

This year, at the beginning of June, 3 kg of plums and 20% of the weight of the plums were alternately mixed with salt(600g), and the liquid was squeezed out. In July, "red perilla" is added to make it red (this red perilla also has a bactericidal effect), and at the end of July, a sheet is laid out and dried on the veranda for three days and three nights. And the result is the "Umeboshi" in the first photo. The second one is the process of mixing with salt first.

Note: Ume is a slightly different fruit from plum in Japan, and is more like an apricot.

梅干し・ホームメード（料理）

「梅干し」は、塩で梅を漬けて、のちに天日で干した保存食です。だから「ピクルス」ではなく、干物なのです。効能は、強い酸味で、食欲を増進させ、細菌を殺して食中毒を防ぎます。また、妊婦の「つわり」にも良いです。日本人の知恵。

今年は、６月の初めに、梅３ｋｇと、塩を重量で梅の２０％で(600g)交互に混ぜ、液を絞り出しました。７月に「赤シソ」を加え、赤く着色させ（この赤シソにも殺菌効果がある）、７月終わりにシートを敷き、３日３晩、ベランダで干します。そして出来上がったのが１枚目の写真の「梅干し」。２枚目は、最初、塩と混ぜる工程です。

注：梅は日本では、plumとはちょっと違う実で、むしろアプリコットに近いです。
