When winter comes, I like to make my own paste recipes. There are many ingredients and they are safe. The most important thing is that you can eat them with confidence if you make them yourself! Let’s take a look at how I make my own ointment recipe!
Steps/Methods:
1 It should be reminded that even if you make the ointment yourself, prescribing is one of the most important steps. Everyone’s physique is different, even for the same person. Physical constitutions are different under different health conditions, so you must ask a professional, senior and experienced Chinese medicine practitioner to provide you with personalized conditioning.
2 Prepare a large cooking pot and three large face plates for decoction, and fry three times for half an hour to an hour each time. After each frying, pour the medicinal soup into the basin and save it.
3 Precipitation Because some Chinese medicines contain sediment impurities, if they do not precipitate, the taste of the paste will be affected. Therefore, the decoction needs to be left for a period of time to settle, and then filtered with gauze. , what is filtered is the clear liquid. Precipitation usually takes one hour.
4 The process of concentrating is very critical and can be said to be the most tiring part of making a homemade paste. Put the clear liquid into a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat, and add rock sugar, donkey hide gelatin, etc. as appropriate. Stir constantly during the simmering process to prevent the medicinal soup from burning. For beginners, burning the pan is a common problem. How long does it take to concentrate? This depends on each person’s paste ingredients and the amount of water.
5 It is best for the paste to be neither soft nor hard. If it is too soft, it will break easily; if it is too hard, you may not be able to scoop it out with a spoon.
