A few years ago, when my mother came to visit my family in the United States, she found a large area of wild wormwood in the woods near my home. Later, when she caught a cold, she picked some and came back to boil for a bath. Before and after Qingming is the season when wormwood is unearthed in spring. I picked a big bag and went home to get the young leaves to make green dumplings. The rest of the boiling water gave the coughing Junbao a bath. Reference

baking soda:1 / 8 teaspoon

sugar:15g / 1 tbsp

Cooking Steps

Step1:Many friends in my circle asked me how to identify wormwood in the countryside. For the sake of safety. Although I'm sure I picked wormwood near my home, I did a lot of homework online and took some recent photos for friends interested in picking wild wormwood to refer to. In general, Chinese people use the name of Artemisia argyi. The wild name of Artemisia vulgaris here is Artemisia vulgaris. Both of them are Artemisia. They have similar chemical composition and similar efficacy. This is a new wormwood growing in the woods near my home. Wormwood like to grow in open places, such as abandoned open space, agricultural land, roads, railways, woods.

Step2:The leaves of wormwood are about 24 inches long and 13 inches wide. They split in a feather shape. They are fragrant when kneaded. Aroma is one of the most important two points to identify wormwood. Another point is to look at the back of the leaf. The back of the leaf is silvery white with white silky villi; the branches near the tender leaves also have villi. And they are more dense.

Step3:This is my half-hour harvest in the forest. The wormwood just unearthed in spring is fragrant and not bitter. That afternoon, I made a delicious green troupe.

Step4:Fry / bake peanuts, sesame and red beans respectively. After cooling, grind into powder. Mix in sugar and set aside. Mix glutinous rice flour and glutinous rice flour for use.

Step5:Wash the Wormwood Leaves and put them in the pot. Add water and cook with 1 / 8 teaspoon baking soda for 15 minutes. Baking soda can remove the bitterness of Wormwood Leaves and keep them green.

Step6:Grind the wormwood leaves into a paste with a food processor. Add some water properly.

Step7:Pour the wormwood paste into a pot. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar. Boil. Add 3 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour / glutinous rice flour. Stir with a spatula until hot and thick.

Step8:Put the remaining sticky rice / glutinous rice flour in a large basin. Put the wormwood leaf paste in the rice flour. Mix it with a spoon. Cool it slightly and make it into a non sticky dough. If the dough is sticky, you can add some glutinous rice flour to knead until it is not sticky.
