Chapter 1534 Making Bamboo Leaf Tea

The quality of these bamboo leaves was quite good. Yuan Bao looked through the space library and finally found a book on tea production. Although the bamboo leaves were not tea leaves, the specific operation methods should be correct.

She looked through it for a while and decided to process the tea leaves by steaming tea cakes. The bamboo leaf tea produced in this way not only did not have the smell of fried tea, but also retained the fresh taste of bamboo leaves to the greatest extent. Two, but making bamboo leaf tea is also a technical job.

When making tea cakes, steaming tea, pounding tea, making tea and roasting tea, every step is very important. If there is a slight oversight, the bamboo leaf tea cake will be greatly reduced, which will not affect the consumption, but since it is necessary to make , Yuanbao still wants to be perfect and leave no regrets.

Thinking like this, Yuan Bao squatted down, lit dry branches in the stove, then poured the space's fountain of youth into the pot, placed a steamer on top, and placed a steamer made of bamboo strips on top. , wait until the water boils and the steamer is moistened, then Yuanbao puts the picked fresh bamboo leaves on it, uncovers it, and slowly steams it little by little.

This degreening process requires very strict control of the heat. Once the heat is over, the green bamboo leaves will turn black or yellow, which not only affects the taste, but also affects the appearance.But if the heat is too low and the degreening is not clean, the brewed bamboo leaf tea will have a slightly bitter taste and the taste will be compromised.

Yuan Bao used several steamers in turn to steam the two large baskets of bamboo leaves until they were degreened. Then he put the bamboo leaves in a stone mortar and pounded them bit by bit. After a while, fresh bamboo came out in the kitchen. The smell of leaves is particularly refreshing.

I don't know if it's because of the blessing of the Fountain of Youth, but Yuan Bao thinks this bamboo leaf tea will be of the highest quality, so he plans to keep some for himself to eat and not give away to others.

Having made up his mind to keep some for himself to make tea, Yuan Bao became even more serious when making tea cakes.

After degreening and pounding the two baskets of bamboo leaves, the weight has been reduced by half. What originally weighed more than 50 kilograms is now only about 20 or 30 kilograms. Later, they will be drained and pressed into tea cakes. If you continue to cook, ten kilograms of tea may be too much.

"Yuanbao, do you need my help?" Zhao Mei walked in and asked.

Yuan Bao thought that if he was busy alone, he would have to be busy until the rooster crows to make these bamboo leaf teas, so he did not refuse Zhao Mei, but said: "Help me press all these bamboo leaves into the rules." , press it into tea cakes.

Keep beating, and add other bamboo leaves from time to time, until the tea cake is firm. There should be no gaps at all, otherwise the tea cake will be loose and fall apart as soon as you take it.

After making the tea cake, press it with the big stone to completely submerge the astringent water inside. "

"Okay!" This was easy, Zhao Mei quickly started to help.

Before I knew it, the sky had completely darkened, and there were no lights at all in the labor camp, leaving only the subtle smell of burning kerosene in the air.

But fortunately, after working all night, it was not a waste of time. At least these bamboo leaves have been pressed into tea cakes and set aside for baking. This is also a challenging job. Yuanbao has to stay here at all times to maintain The temperature inside the stove should be neither too high nor too low. The quality of bamboo leaf tea depends on now.

Zhao Mei felt distressed and quickly took off her gown and put it on Yuan Bao, "It's still quite cold here in Xizhou at night, Yuan Bao, why don't you go back first, I'll just keep watch here."

Just bake tea, she thought, she should be able to do it, right?

Yuan Bao glanced at the tea cakes on the stove, shook his head and said: "No, in half an hour, the bamboo leaf tea will be baked, I can still make it..."

As he spoke, Yuan Bao yawned.
