When picking sweet-scented osmanthus, we must seize the opportunity: ① Don't pick flower buds-the fragrant oil of sweet-scented osmanthus has not been secreted yet, and the fragrance is extremely low at this time. (2) It has just opened-at this time, the content of aromatic oil is the highest, which is the best time to pick osmanthus. (3) After a few days of flowering, most of the highly volatile aromatic oils have dispersed and the quality is poor. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Put it in a closed container (iron bucket or plastic bucket with cover), then sprinkle all the fresh osmanthus on the paper bag of quicklime, and seal it tightly for 1-2 days, and the osmanthus will be crisp, and the dried osmanthus will be sealed and stored in a glass bottle. -It has the characteristics of no loss of fragrance and no discoloration. This dried osmanthus can be used in various osmanthus foods. Mechanism: The principle of using quicklime "calcium carbonate" to absorb water and generate hydrated lime "calcium hydroxide" at room temperature. 2) Preservation method of white sugar: Practice: Mix fresh sweet-scented osmanthus with white sugar in the volume ratio of 65,438+0: 65,438+0, and put them in a closed jar or porcelain jar to keep them away from light, which can be used as the fragrance of the Lantern Festival or as a daily dumpling wrapped with sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts. (Osmanthus fragrans can only be cleaned by removing impurities, and can never be washed with water) Mechanism: saturated semi-solid sugar stains, sterilization and quality assurance. -It has the characteristics of no loss of fragrance. 3) Making Osmanthus fragrans wine: Method: Soak fresh Osmanthus fragrans in one catty of high-alcohol liquor, then add half a catty of rock sugar and two taels of sheep fat (raw), soak for two months and drink (shake 3-4 times in the middle). This osmanthus wine is neither bitter nor spicy, soft and sweet, mellow and has a long aftertaste. Mechanism: Liquor absorbs the essence and aroma of osmanthus fragrans, dissolves pig fat and rock sugar, and makes the wine sweet and delicious. 4) making osmanthus tea:
① Put the green tea into a frying pan heated to 150℃ without oil stain, and stir-fry for about an hour repeatedly to make the green tea fully crisp.
(2) Put the crispy roasted green tea in a closed container and cool it while it is hot (so as not to absorb the moisture in the air again).
(3) Put the fresh osmanthus fragrans, which accounts for about 30% of the total weight of the tea leaves, into a container and shake it tightly with the crisp tea leaves (shake it for another 2-3 hours).
④ After fully absorbing the aroma and moisture 12- 18 hours, the production of osmanthus tea is completed. After sealed storage, you can take a little water to drink at any time. (Note: Fresh osmanthus is as dry as green tea. )
Mechanism: According to the characteristics of dry tea leaves absorbing odor and moisture, green tea leaves are baked from the normal state of normal humidity to the crisp state of water loss, and the fragrant fresh osmanthus leaves are sealed and evenly mixed with crisp tea leaves, so that the tea leaves can absorb the moisture of fresh osmanthus leaves to restore normal humidity, and at the same time, they also absorb the aromatic substances of osmanthus leaves, thus becoming fragrant osmanthus tea (at this time, the dry osmanthus leaves in tea leaves can also be screened out for other purposes). —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ! ! Because alum (also known as alum, chemical name: aluminum sulfate) can not be used as a food additive and a precipitant for water purification, people who consume too much aluminum will have symptoms such as dementia, premature aging and trembling hands and feet. Therefore, aluminum pot, which is harmful to health, is gradually eliminated. Alum salty fried dough sticks are also unhealthy food, so it is best not to eat them or just to taste them occasionally.
