Moreover, many delicacies can actually be made with flowers, such as peony flower cake, Osmanthus Jelly, lotus and winter melon soup, etc. Today, I will introduce these three kinds of delicacies to you. 1. Osmanthus Jelly
The history of Osmanthus Jelly is very long, and Osmanthus Jelly, a kind of delicacy, actually appeared in the feudal period. Osmanthus Jelly is actually made of glutinous rice flour and sweet osmanthus. You need to pick fresh sweet osmanthus, add some brown sugar into it and marinate it for a period of time. Put all the pickled brown sugar osmanthus into glutinous rice flour, add some water, stir well and knead it into dough. After fermentation, we can directly make the dough into the shape of cakes, which can be made directly by using a mold. The high point will be more beautiful. After it is done, it can be steamed directly in the pot. Osmanthus Jelly made according to this method will have a faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance in your mouth, and it is also in line with the public's taste. 2. Lotus winter melon soup
Lotus winter melon soup is also a common food. Before making this food, we need to pick some fresh lotus flowers and then some lotus roots. Clean the picked lotus slices, and the lotus root should be peeled and sliced, and then prepare some fresh wax gourd. Heat the oil in the pan, stir-fry the wax gourd in the oil pan for a few times, then add appropriate amount of boiling water, add lotus root slices, cover the pan and cook with high fire, then sprinkle lotus flowers in the pan and simmer for a few minutes. 3.
