Second, make it into dried flowers

There are many ways to make dried flowers, but the natural drying method is simple and easy. Generally, after the flowers are harvested in the mature season, they are cut and hung in the indoor dry hot air to make the water evaporate. In order to prevent the tissue from shrinking and better preserve its natural color, we should try to dry them quickly with hot air, and put the cut flowers head down when hanging, so that the top of the stem remains rigid during the drying process. We can hang the cut flowers on iron wires or shelves to dry them, not using plastic bags.

When making dried flowers, they should be cut in dry weather for easy drying. The flower stems should be kept longer, and the leaves should be removed, because the leaves prolong the dehydration process and often shrink and lose the ornamental value. Large cut flowers (such as delphinium) should be hung and dried in a single flower, and if they are tied in bundles, the flowers will be easily crushed after drying. Generally, cut flowers can be bundled into small bundles, and the flower heads are separated from each other, so that they are not damaged by extrusion. After a few days, the cut flowers will slowly dry, feel brittle when touched by hands, and the petals become fibrous. At this time, they have been made into dried flowers and can be used for decoration.

Third, make sweet osmanthus

1. Fresh osmanthus:

Picking fresh osmanthus fragrans, marinating it with a little salt overnight. After pouring out the marinated water, drying it until it is half-dry, salting it with a layer of osmanthus fragrans and a layer of sugar according to the ratio of 1: 1, finding a clean bottle, putting the marinated osmanthus fragrans into it, sealing it, putting it in a dark place for a week and eating it, or storing it in the refrigerator.

Tip: 1, fresh osmanthus can't be washed.

2, salt can be used to sterilize, remove the astringency, and you can get better fragrance and sweetness in the later stage. You can also make tea with sweet osmanthus, and add a slice of lemon, which is sour and sweet, and the taste is not too good.

2. Dry osmanthus:

Rinse the dried osmanthus fragrans in clean water to remove the dust on the surface, then remove and drain the water, add sugar and steam for 10 minutes, and mix it halfway. After being cooled, put it in a clean sealed bottle, and it can be refrigerated in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon when eating.

Tip: 1, if it is made of bees, you don't need to steam it with osmanthus. Just steam the osmanthus and mix it with bees for pickling. This will ensure that the nutrition of bees will not be destroyed.

2, it is steaming on the pot, not cooking, so don't make a mistake about this step.
