1. How to deal with fresh wild chrysanthemum

Sorting: the fresh wild chrysanthemums collected need to be sorted out immediately. Clean up some grass residues and broken stones, and then rinse them with clean water, and then dry them in a dry and ventilated place. Pay attention to spreading and storing evenly, and do not stack together, otherwise it may rot due to internal heating.

Upper cage: the general cage can be woven with bamboo pieces, with a diameter of 30 to 40 cm and a depth of about 7 cm. Put the chrysanthemum into the cage, pay attention to the appropriate tightness and avoid being mixed.

Steaming: boil a pot of water. After boiling, put the cages containing chrysanthemums on the steamer. Put three cages in each pot, and then cover the pot and steam for five minutes. When steaming, pay attention to using high fire all the time. Change the water when steaming once to ensure the cleanness of water quality.

Drying: the steamed wild chrysanthemums are like flat and round flower cakes, which are taken out of the cage and spread on the bamboo curtain and exposed to the sun for six to seven days. Turn one side every two days to ensure uniform heating until the flower cake is dried

However, if you want to make dried flowers, you must not let them dry in the sun. You should hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place away from light and let them dry naturally or air dry. In this process, some small flying insects will run away by themselves. After air drying, trim it a little, and you can find a more beautiful vase to put it in.

2. Can you drink it directly in water

Fresh wild chrysanthemums can be drunk directly in water. Just pay attention to cleaning several times before soaking to avoid some small insects. When brewing, it is recommended to brew with boiling water, and be sure to choose the chrysanthemum with small flowers and yellow color. You can't make too much tea at one time. You can't keep the tea for too long, otherwise there may be side effects.
