Production method of dried basil and bayberry

Material

When making dried perilla and bayberry at home, you need to prepare an appropriate amount of bayberry and perilla leaves, as well as some rock sugar and white sugar. The ratio between them can be adjusted according to your needs.

Steps

1. Wash the prepared bayberry with clean water, then soak it in light salt water for an hour to soak out all the insects and eggs inside, and then wash it with clean water.

2. Wash all the prepared perilla with clean water, then put them in the sun to dry until they are half dry, then add edible salt to marinate them. When marinating, rub them with your hands constantly until they are dehydrated and dry.

3. Put water in the pot and add the processed bayberry, heat and bring to a boil, then cook for another half an hour. Take out and drain the water, then put the prepared rock sugar and white sugar back into the pot and cook together. The bayberry will produce a lot of water, so it needs to be simmered slowly.

4. Stir the pot constantly during the cooking process to prevent it from getting stuck. When the bayberries in the pot are dehydrated and wrinkled, take them out of the pot and place them in the sun for a few hours.

5. Put the dried bayberry and washed perilla together and rub them with your hands to let the flavors penetrate into each other. Continue to dry them for a while. When the bayberry is 80% dry, you can put it away. At this time, the homemade perilla bayberry is ready. You can take it out and eat it anytime you want. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.
