What is the Youth League made of?

The Youth League is made of absinthe juice.

It is blue, mixed with wormwood juice into glutinous rice flour, and then wrapped with bean paste or lotus paste. It is not sweet or greasy, and its fragrance is elegant but long.

Qingyuan Festival is a traditional snack that people in the south of the Yangtze River eat in Tomb-Sweeping Day. According to textual research, the name of the Youth League has a history of 1000 years since the Tang Dynasty. When I was in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the youth league was almost steamed. In ancient times, people made green balls mainly as sacrifices. Although the Youth League has existed for thousands of years and its shape has not changed, its function as a sacrifice has gradually faded and it has become a seasonal snack.
