2. Honey preparation: honey preparation means that honey is prepared according to the weight of the powder at the ratio of1:1.2-1.5 (for example, 1000g powder is equipped with 1200~ 1500g honey. picture
3, honey refining: honey refining is honey refining. The purpose of honey refining is to remove impurities, destroy enzymes, kill bacteria, evaporate water and enhance viscosity. When refining honey, boil it with strong fire first, and then simmer it slowly. At the same time, put a bowl of cold water next to it, and pay attention to the color of honey. When honey turns yellow, dip a drop in honey with a bamboo chopstick, then move the bamboo chopstick above the cold water bowl and let the honey drip into the water. If the honey does not disperse in the water and sinks to the bottom (that is, "dripping into beads"), the honey is refined.
If honey can't be cooked, you can't make pills. Of course, it's not good to overdo it, so you must master the temperature.
There are three kinds of refined honey, namely tender honey, medium honey and old honey. "Tender honey" is made by heating and boiling raw honey until the temperature reaches105℃ ~115℃, and filtering to remove foam. Its color change is not obvious, the water loss is less, and it is slightly sticky. It is suitable for containing more starch, slimy and sticky. "Medium honey" means that raw honey is heated and boiled for a long time or tender honey is continuously heated to116℃ ~118℃.
The foam is light red luster and sticky by hand, but it can't be drawn into long white silk, which is suitable for making pills with some sticky or some fibers. "Old honey" means that raw honey is heated for a longer time or tender honey and medium honey are heated to119℃ ~122℃, so that the water is fully evaporated, the bubbles are reddish brown, shiny and sticky by hand, and white silk can be pulled out. It is suitable for making pills with a large amount of fibrous or mineral materials and other poor viscosity.
Most honey pills are made from medium honey, and about 800g refined honey can be obtained from 1000g honey, and about 800g refined honey 1000g Chinese medicine powder is needed. ) picture
4. Mixing and mixing medicines: pour the boiled honey into the powder contained in the disinfection basin with a spoon, and stir it in the powder with thick bamboo chopsticks at the same time, just like adding water and flour before making jiaozi at ordinary times. Mix the powder while pouring honey, and stop adding honey when the dry powder is basically invisible (be careful not to add too much, because pills are not easy to form when there is too much honey).
If the total amount of honey is not well mastered at the beginning, it can be remedied according to the dry humidity of the powder when adjusting honey at this time. After mixing, put the medicine and honey in a disinfection basin and form a ball like dough.

5. Rubbing strips and pills: In order to prevent the pills from sticking to hands or utensils, a small amount of glycerin, sesame oil or peanut oil can be used to rub strips and pills in the palm, which is not only difficult to stick, but also makes the pills smooth and bright.
If the weight of each pill is calculated as 10g, one material * * * weighs 3000g, so it will be made into 300 pills. The reconciled pills can be divided into three lumps, and each lump can be divided into five small lumps. After rubbing strips, each lump can be cut into 20 sections, and each section can be rubbed with one pill. The rest are allowed.
