Mistletoe pendant is a necessary food for Dragon Boat Festival. The leaves of mistletoe have a special fragrance, and the mistletoe pendant made of it has a fragrance as soon as it is out of the pot. Mistletoe pendants are similar to zongzi, but in different shapes. Zongzi is triangular and conical, wrapped in bamboo leaves. Mistletoe is cylindrical, and their fillings are almost the same, both of which are glutinous rice, dates and peanuts. The unique flavor of oak tree exists in the wrapped leaves of oak tree, which is a beech plant and also the leaves of oak tree, and is mostly distributed in the western and southwestern mountainous areas of Lushan Mountain.
The main raw material of mistletoe is glutinous rice. It is generally necessary to soak glutinous rice in cold water the night before and wait until the next day. Generally, it is delicious to soak in water for 12 hours.
Recommended practice of mistletoe:
Material preparation: oak leaves, brushes, glutinous rice, candied dates, pots, etc.
1. Burn oak leaves with hot water. This can not only remove the astringency of the leaves themselves, but also remove the white fluff on the leaves.
Every leaf of mistletoe should be scrubbed carefully. Rub two leaves with a brush to remove white fluff, dust and other impurities from the leaves.

4. Soak glutinous rice and candied dates.
After the mistletoe is wrapped, it can be cooked in a big pot.
6, the fire can be cooked for more than an hour.
