First of all, we prepare two large pieces of ginger, first break the large pieces of ginger into small pieces, so that it is convenient to clean the soil in the cracks of the ginger, after breaking the small, first soak in warm water for 5 minutes, put a little salt in the water, some baking soda, soak for 5 minutes, the soil is soaked, we use a waste small toothbrush to brush the gaps clean, after the soil and the like are all washed, put the ginger under the flowing water to wash off the surface of the salt and baking soda.
The reason why salt is added is because salt helps to sterilize, and baking soda can remove the pesticide residues on it, put the ginger aside after cleaning, and then we deal with the pepper, the pepper itself has been dried very dry, if you are worried about dust, you can also wash it, but do not soak, put the pepper on the small drain net, rinse it with flowing water to rinse, too long will let its nutrition and fragrance be lost, and then put the pepper in the stone mortar of pounding garlic, and mash the pepper with a stone mortar.
After mashing, put aside for later use, then we process the ginger, cut the ginger into slices and then put it in the food processor to stir into a delicate ginger puree, and then pour the ginger paste into the gauze to filter out the ginger juice inside, put the filtered slurry residue into the baking tray at 120 degrees on the fire, and heat and roast for 45 minutes at the same time to completely roast the ginger residue until dry, take advantage of this time we process the ginger juice, add a spoonful of edible salt to the ginger juice, stir until it melts, pour the ginger juice into the ice grid, freeze it into Xiaoice pieces one by one, completely set it after freezing, pour it out and put it into a sealed bag。
If it is only used to make ginger syrup, you can add the same amount of honey to it and stir it up and freeze it, and soak it in warm boiled water in the morning directly with a piece of ginger and honey juice, which can completely melt in the water, and it is very convenient to drink in the morning.
After processing the ginger juice, the ginger residue here has been completely dried, we prepare two pieces of gauze It is best to choose a denser one, to avoid the ginger residue being exposed, spread the gauze on the table, spread some of your favorite dried flowers on the gauze, you can choose peach blossom petals in spring, you can choose lotus petals in summer, you can choose wild daisies in autumn, the taste is fresh, and it also helps to go to the fire, and in winter you like a warm feeling, you can choose osmanthus, the smell is sweet and will make people feel very warm.
Sprinkle a layer of dried flowers on the gauze and then sprinkle the crushed peppercorns, and finally sprinkle all the dried ginger dregs on top, spread all the ingredients with your hands, and then cover another gauze on it, fold back the 4 sides and sew it together with a needle and thread, after sewing, and then stagger the position in the middle horizontally and vertically, sewing 2~3 rows, after sewing, put it in the middle of the pillow core and pillowcase, next to the side of the skin, after processing, you can use the pillow normally, the pepper ginger inside has been poured very broken, and it is relatively soft to put on the petals, so you don't have to worry about pricking the skin.
