Tips:
1. Soak the lotus seeds for a longer time. Just wait for the lotus seeds to swell up
(I made it the night before and used it the next morning).
2. It is best to boil the lotus seeds first, so that they will mature easily.
3. Add heavy oil to the glutinous rice to make it more fragrant. You can also add corn oil.
4. If you don't like too sweet, you can eat it directly without pouring honey.
