How to make cool grass with traditional characteristics of southern Fujian from dried Mesona blume? Authentic Taiwan Province Xiancao is made of Xiancao as raw material, boiled with slow fire, and added with special edible starch, without any additives, which is cool and antipyretic and suitable for all ages.

First of all, these dry branches are the hay dried by this mint-like plant for two days, and they are also the main materials for Minnan people to make fairy grass. Before making, the workers washed these branches in clean water. After thoroughly cleaning the dust and impurities mixed in Mesona blume, put it into this iron pot and boil it for two hours according to the ratio of licorice100g to hardware water. In this process, in order to boil the rich mineral elements in Cao Xian to the greatest extent, workers need to stir the bottom of the pot every 15 minutes until the Cao Xian in the pot is completely boiled.

Second, when the soup becomes sticky and turbid, it will be collected through the water outlet below the iron pot. Next, in order to make Cao Xian juice become Q-elastic and slippery if it is frozen after cooling, workers should first filter the soup with a sieve for three to five times to remove the dissolved grass residue and foam in the soup. Throw it away, then pour the washed soup into another iron pot, stir it with a proper amount of rice paste on low fire for a period of time until the Cao Xian juice and rice paste begin to become thinner and sticky, and then pour it into an aluminum plate prepared in advance to cool it for a period of time.

Thirdly, after about 30 minutes, the steaming Cao Xian juice has condensed into a solid state similar to Guiling ointment. In this way, workers only need to cut it into appropriate sizes with a fruit knife, then put it into this professional equipment, cut it into small squares, and finally add honey and various dried fruits according to the taste of10g, so as to make the cool Minnan dessert popular in Southeast Asia.
