Once the required time has elapsed, strain the mixture and transfer it to a new bamboo container. Grind it in a sand mortar until it becomes a fine paste, then strain it through a fine cloth. Once the grinding and straining are complete, discard the residue. Mix the ground paste thoroughly with the original medicinal wine and the strained liquid,Measure the volume in the silver pot in sheng or dou, and simmer over low heat in batches until it becomes a paste.
