Then, fashion a lead cap in the shape of a conical hat and place it upside down over the jar’s mouth.seal the perimeter tightly with salt mud, and cover the exterior with several layers of rice paper to ensure no air escapes. Then, build a brick stove, place the jar on top, and distill it over a moderate to strong fire using mulberry wood until one stick of incense has burned. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Gently lift the lead cap, taking care not to let any mud or ash fall, and you will find one bowl of fragrant, clear child’s urine dew in the suspended bowl inside the jar.
