How to remove the bitter taste of lilyWhen we separate the lilies one by one, we have to tear off the thin film on the petals, otherwise it will still taste bitter. After tearing off the film, soak the lily petals. You can add some rock sugar to the water to reduce the bitterness. If you don't add rock sugar, adding some salt can also have the same effect. At this time, we need to soak for a longer time, preferably about 2 hours, and then blanch it in water. At this time, there is basically no bitterness. Of course, if you are afraid of the bitter taste, you can add an appropriate amount of rock sugar or red dates when cooking porridge. This two-pronged approach can resolutely eliminate the bitter taste of lily. |
