1. Frozen storage in the refrigerator: If you want to keep osmanthus in full bloom and fresh when you take it out, just pick up the dirty things, then put them in a fresh-keeping bag, tie the bag tightly and put them in the refrigerator for quick freezing.
In this way, sweet-scented osmanthus looks fresh whenever it is taken out.
3. However, this preservation method is not perfect.
4. Because fresh sweet-scented osmanthus can't be eaten directly, the tannins inside make sweet-scented osmanthus very astringent and lack fragrance. It must be boiled to make it astringent and more fragrant, but freezing can't achieve the effect of cooking.
So I suggest you try the following ways to preserve fresh osmanthus. If time is too late, you can temporarily freeze it.
6. Natural sealed preservation: naturally air-dried osmanthus, brewed into honey, can also be preserved for several years.

9. Pickling and preservation: firstly, pickle osmanthus fragrans with a little salt, then squeeze out excess water, and then use a layer of sugar to pickle osmanthus fragrans into osmanthus fragrans, osmanthus honey or osmanthus sauce. It is also a good choice to make fresh osmanthus fragrans into osmanthus fragrans, osmanthus honey or osmanthus sauce, which is convenient to take and can be preserved for a long time.
10. Making osmanthus wine: first, marinate osmanthus with white sugar for a few days, let it ferment, then pour it into white wine and seal it. You can drink osmanthus wine in 2 or 3 years.
