Processing

Just as the plum blossoms are about to bloom, pick half-open flowers—including the stamens and calyx—early in the morning and place them in a bottle. For every 1 liang of flowers, sprinkle 1 liang of roasted salt over them; do not touch them with your hands to avoid damaging them. Seal the bottle tightly with several layers of thick paper and store it in a shaded place. When retrieving them the following year, first place honey in a cup, then add two or three flower heads to the center. Pour boiling water over them, and they will open as if fresh.
