Instructions for Use

First, pour the milk into a cauldron. Then, place the quartz in a bag made of four layers of raw silk, tie the top securely, and lower it into the milk—ensuring the bag does not touch the bottom. Use a stick to measure the depth and mark it. Next, add the water and simmer gently over a charcoal fire until the water has evaporated and only the milk remains. Measure the depth again with the stick; when it reaches the marked level, stop the process. Remove the quartz bag and rinse it with water; strain the milk through cotton.Warm it to a comfortable temperature and drink it slowly on an empty stomach every morning; alternatively, it is also good to cook congee with the milk. Continue this regimen for 20 days, then stop.
