Osmanthus fragrans is one of the traditional famous flowers in China. Not only can you see, but you can also eat. In order to facilitate storage, there are many dried osmanthus in the market. Can dried osmanthus be soaked in honey directly?
Whether dried osmanthus can be soaked in honey directly depends mainly on the cleanliness. If you buy dried osmanthus flowers from outside, it is not recommended to soak them directly in honey, because the dried osmanthus flowers you buy may be dirty and contain many impurities, so it is not safe to eat them directly in honey. If it is dried osmanthus at home, everyone thinks it is well preserved, but it can be soaked in honey directly, which is relatively simple and convenient.
Prepare a proper amount of dried osmanthus fragrans and white honey, first pick out the obvious bugs and impurities, and then soak the dried osmanthus fragrans in water for a period of time, adding a little salt, which has a bactericidal effect. After soaking, take out the osmanthus and drain the water. You can press it with some kitchen paper to make the water evaporate as soon as possible. When it's almost dry, you can start preparing osmanthus honey. First prepare a glass bottle, put it in a pot, sterilize it at high temperature, and then dry it for later use. On-site bee herding reminds everyone that there is moisture in it, which will affect the shelf life of osmanthus honey. Make sure the bottle is waterless.
Add a proper amount of water and white honey to the jar, lay the bottom, add some osmanthus flowers, one layer of honey and one layer of osmanthus flowers, and so on. Finally, put all the osmanthus into the jar, cover it with honey, and let all the osmanthus be submerged in the honey. Finally, cover it and store it in the refrigerator. Generally, it is best to wait a week or so before taking it out. When you want to drink, you can take out a proper amount of water to drink, but remember that boiled water is not suitable, and it is best to use warm water of about 40 degrees.
