Bring water to a boil in a large pot, add a little alkali, put in the washed mugwort, do not add a lid to the pot, keep the water on medium-low heat to keep the water slightly open, use chopsticks to turn the mugwort a little, so that it is uniformly heated, cook until the leaves become green, pinch the mugwort stems with your hand, sheepishly soft to a pinch on the break to turn off the fire. Covering the pot during the cooking process will cause the cooked mugwort to turn yellow and not bright in color. Put alkali is to remove the bitter flavor in the mugwort.

The way to make moxa patties Step 3

Add glutinous rice flour, sugar, and pour in freshly boiled water, and while pouring first, use chopsticks to mix it thoroughly, and when the temperature drops, knead it with your hands and make it into a moxa ball. Be sure to use very hot water, so that the glutinous rice flour becomes sticky when it is hot, so that it can be formed into a good ball, and the filling can be better operated, and the finished product has a better shape and texture. Do not add too much sugar, and after the dough has a slightly sweet flavor, because the filling is also sweet, too much sugar is too greasy.

The way to make moxa mochi Step 4

Take a small piece of moxa and good moxa dough, pinch it into a small bowl shape, put it in the palm of your hand and wrap it into the filling, seal it up, and make it into a ball shape, and then flatten it out a little bit, put a little bit of oil on the bottom surface, and put it on a piece of pomelo leaves, or you can put oil on the palm of your hand before wrapping it up. Mugwort rice balls are not as malleable as dough, so when you make them, you have to rely on the strength of pressing, squeezing and kneading, and you can't knead them in your hands, or they will fall apart and leak.
