There are many materials that can be used as syrup. Different materials have different functions, some are cold, some are hot and dry. It is necessary to match different auxiliary materials according to different main materials to achieve the effect of mutual assistance. Different combinations have different effects. Experts say that drinking sugar water can relieve irritability and insomnia.
