Processing

Soak in running water for three days, scrub to remove any gamey odor or impurities. Place in a sand pot filled with river water, seal the opening with mulberry leaves to prevent air from escaping, and boil vigorously over charcoal fire. Monitor frequently; as the liquid evaporates, replenish with hot water. Boil for one day until the antlers are tender like cooked taro; stop when they feel soft and crumbly to the touch. If not yet soft, continue boiling, taking care to prevent air from escaping—if air escapes, they will be difficult to cook through. Remove, sun-dry, and grind into powder.Let the settled liquid cool, then filter it through cotton to form a gelatinous sheet. Place it in a bowl and let it air-dry in the breeze; this is called “deer antler gelatin” and can be used in medicine.

Instructions for Use

For each bowl of congee, add 5 qian of antler powder and 1 spoonful of salt; stir well and consume while warm.
