The traditional method of making Ai cakes at home is very simple.

1. Soak folium Artemisiae Argyi and wash for about 3 times (rub).

2. Boil the water in the pot, and blanch the wormwood leaves in the pot for 2-3min (baking soda/edible alkali can be added to remove the bitterness and keep the turquoise color).

3. Soak the Folium Artemisiae Argyi in clear water, and then wash it to remove bitterness.

4. Put the washed Folium Artemisiae Argyi into a cooking machine, add a little water and paste it into Folium Artemisiae Argyi.

5, sweet potato/purple potato peeled and sliced, steamed in the pot.

6. Put the wormwood paste into the pot of steamed sweet potatoes and heat it by the way. Melt with sugar (adjust the taste according to your own preference).

7. Mix glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour, add the amount of wormwood paste, knead into smooth dough (add some water if it is too hard, add some powder if it is too sticky), and sober up.

8. Sweet potato/purple potato, add half a spoonful of honey, press into mud, and knead into dough by gram (12g) for later use.

9. Knead 1 g of Folium Artemisiae Argyi dough (23-35g) into a ball for later use.

10, 35g without stuffing, 23g with sweet potato stuffing, and kneaded into balls.

1 1. Brush the dough with thin oil on one side, press it into the moon cake mold, brush a layer of thin oil on the bottom, and put it on oiled paper (oil is brushed to prevent sticking).

12, steamed in cold water 10- 15 minutes until cooked.

13, let it cool down a little and you can start.
