Judy媽
幼年家中經營小賣店,十三歲開始幫忙媽媽做茶果及傳統特色糕點售賣。以致長大後對製作糕點產生濃厚興趣。退休後加入道場當義工,喜歡做不同款式的糕點與法師及大眾分享,視大家品嘗時歡喜的笑容為最大滿足。
茶果,是廣東、香港及華南地區的傳統小食,分為粵式茶粿和客家茶粄。今期,由新登場的糕點達人Judy媽教大家製作艾草茶果!其實艾草在中國南方傳統食品中,出鏡率相當高。艾草除了具有食用價值外,還有祛風除濕、治療各種炎症的功效。據《本草綱目》記載:艾草微苦,性辛、溫,有溫經止血之功,可治宮冷不孕之用,尊稱其為「愛子蒿」。香港的夏季潮濕炎熱,很適合在家自製這款茶果,滿足味蕾之餘,更可強身健體,快試試啦!
