Shuixin Xuanbing
1.
Soak the cherry blossoms in advance. Honey pickled cherry blossoms are preferred, because they have a sweet taste and are suitable for desserts, and are easier to soak than salted ones.
*If you are using salted cherry blossoms, you can soak them in cold water first, and gently knead them with your fingers during the period to help the soak. If you particularly mind the saltiness, change the water more when soaking, and use warm water for the last soak a bit
2.
The following is the process of brewing with hot water. 510-520ml of water is needed. Pour about 1/3 of it first
3.
Immediately pour into the circular mold, first pour half the amount of the circular mold.
*The mixed liquid is easy to solidify after cooling, especially in a low room temperature environment. If you are delayed, the mold has solidified before it is poured. You can put it in a small milk pot and heat it over a low heat to melt, and then use it.
*What if there is no round mold? In fact, you can also use a small round-bottomed bowl at home, but when demolding, you must first press the periphery with your fingers a little to help loosen it.
4.
Invert the blooming cherry blossoms and put them in the water-shin-gen biscuit mixture, clamp the short handles with the chopsticks, press up and down to spread the petals.
5.
Gently open the lid and place the large flat plate on the Suishin Xuan Bing. Then the mold and the plate are reversed at the same time. Generally speaking, the mold can be demolded. Finally, you can eat it with a little cooked soybean flour and black syrup.
*If you make your own black syrup, you can use 60g of brown sugar and 45g of water to boil, cook on low heat until it melts and mix, then heat on medium-high heat until foaming, and the texture begins to thicken. Don't be too thick, because after cooling It will be thicker and inconvenient to eat.
Tips:
Adding cooked soybean flour and black syrup is the original Japanese way of eating, but if you are too lazy to boil black syrup, you can try honey or condensed milk, which also has a different flavor. If Shuixinxuanbing does not suit your taste, then you can also use this method to make a more acceptable fruit version.
