It’s almost the Dragon Boat Festival. I remember that in the countryside, every household made rice dumplings by themselves. The alkaline water used was burnt with straw to make ash, and then filtered with clean water to become natural alkaline water. The resulting zongzi was more fragrant and more fragrant. Natural, soft and refreshing taste, comfortable stomach after eating, easy to digest! This year, I also eat rice dumplings wrapped in straw ash, to reminisce the deliciousness of childhood!
