Matters needing attention in making Xiancao

1. Buy fresh grass: The first step in grass making is to buy fresh grass. Fresh grass leaves should be cleaned, free of impurities and rotten leaves, bright green in color and fragrant with grass.

2. Cao Xian's treatment method: After cleaning Cao Xianye, it can be mashed or chopped, and then soaked in boiling water for a while to release more fragrance and nutrients.

3. Temperature and time of firing: Pay attention to temperature and time when firing Cao Xian. Generally speaking, the temperature of grass should not be too high, and it is best to use medium-small fire, and the time should not be too long, generally around 10~ 15 minutes.

4. Stirring during firing: Stir constantly during firing to avoid burning or scorching. At the same time, stirring can also release the fragrance and nutrition of Cao Xian evenly.

5, choose the right amount of sugar: the sweetness of grass can choose the right amount of sugar according to personal taste. Generally speaking, 2~3 spoonfuls of sugar can satisfy most people's tastes.
