Because of the high water content of fresh flowers, the more fragrant oil it volatilizes, so we can easily smell the flowers. However, dried flowers have been dehydrated or dried, so it is naturally impossible to release flavor particles through liquid volatilization, so we are not easy to smell the smell. Shake the dried flowers near the nose, and you can still smell something, because some debris particles are shaken off and floated into our nostrils.

The practice of dried osmanthus:
1, wash the osmanthus with clear water first, wash off the floating orchid, take out and drain. (Because dried sweet-scented osmanthus needs to be steamed, there is no requirement that it should be washed with cold white water for the last time, and it can also be washed with tap water. )
2. Spread a layer of drained osmanthus on a plate, add 2 spoonfuls of maltose or white sugar, stir it a little, and steam it on the pot for 10 minute. You can stir it again halfway, because maltose is sticky at room temperature and can't be mixed with osmanthus, so it will melt after steaming. At this time, stir it again to make osmanthus and sugar mix evenly.
3. After cooling, put it into a water-free and oil-free bottle and store it in the refrigerator.
