Here is the black rice grass, pinching the tender head of the tree, which is ugly.

According to aunt's instructions, the leaves were taken captive and the stems were removed.

Wash it clean, and put the leaves with water in the pulverizer to break it. My aunt said that it can be chopped, so I can save trouble and put it in the pulverizer directly, so that it can be beaten more finely.

The ratio of water to leaves is about1:1.

Broken leaf juice.

Pour all the broken juice leaves into a container and put some alum. Aunt said that alum would make black rice shiny.

Alum given by the peddler

Heat the juice leaves on fire to about 40 degrees and turn off the heat.

Put glutinous rice on fine gauze.

Tie a knot and wrap it up.

Soak the packaged glutinous rice in the black rice grass juice for one night, and the juice just passes the rice. Packing is mainly to prevent the shredded black rice grass from sticking to glutinous rice, otherwise it is not easy to clean when it is taken out.

After soaking for a night, take it out, and the black and shiny ebony will be there. The rice grains are full and glowing with green light, which is beautiful and magical.

Then you can steam, cook and fry it at will. It's all the same fragrance and endless aftertaste. The fragrant black rice is not only delicious, but also clear the heart and improve eyesight, dredge collaterals and replenish blood, and has high medicinal value. It is said that it has been on CCTV as a special food in Jiangnan.

It is said that some dealers will make ebony for sale by soaking it in artificial pigment. This is pure natural pigment, so you can rest assured that it is delicious.
