1
Peel the turmeric and set aside. -
2
Weigh the gray date slices, red wolfberry, and handmade brown sugar according to weight. -
3
Cut the jujube strips in half, do not cut them too small, so that when the finished product is brewed, the red jujube slices will still have a good taste. -
4
Mash old brown sugar by hand. -
5
Slice small turmeric. -
6
Put the turmeric into a wall breaking machine, add 12 tablespoons of water, and crush it with a fruit and vegetable key. Just put in enough water to allow the broken wall to move. The less you put in, the shorter the cooking time will be. -
7
Try to grind the turmeric as finely as possible. The finer it is, the better the taste will be when brewed. -
8
Put the brown sugar and turmeric puree together in a non-stick pan and simmer over medium heat. Remember to stir constantly until the brown sugar is completely dissolved. -

Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. I use an induction cooker with 150 heat. The firepower settings of my induction cooker are 50/90/150/180/220. You can also have two settings at the same time. For example, 90 and 150 are at the same time, that is (60+150)/2=105. Some induction cookers Maybe my 150 is displayed as 1500 on his machine, so he would be right to choose the mid-range. -

First lay burning paper in the container to prevent sticking, then lay half of the rose petals flat and set aside. -
11
Continue to simmer for 15 minutes over medium-low heat, i.e. 90, so that the total cooking time is about 30 minutes. The syrup is slightly thicker. Pour in the gray date kernels, stir evenly, and continue to simmer over medium-low heat for 40 minutes. During this time, stir constantly. The thicker the mixture, the more frequently it needs to be stirred. Be careful not to burn the bottom. -

The paste stops flowing after cooking.The power is very strong, similar to the state when we fry red bean paste. Turn to the minimum heat, 50, pour in the red wolfberry and stir evenly. -
13
Pour the cooked paste into the box, spread it out, and shake it a few times for later use. -
14
Evenly sprinkle the other half of the rose petals. -
15
Cover a layer of baking paper on top, then use a pressing plate to press it firmly and flatten it. Let the upper and lower rose petals blend better with the paste without falling off. -
16
It is winter now, let it dry for a day in a ventilated place and then start cutting. In summer, refrigerate overnight before cutting. -
17
I cut it into 8 small strips in total, and then cut each strip into 6 small pieces. This amount can soak approximately 250-300 ml of water. Just adjust the amount of water according to your personal taste. -
18
Cut into square pieces. -
19
Girls with dysmenorrhea can start drinking it one week before menstruation, and they will feel much better when their aunt comes. -

In addition to being used to make boiled water for drinking, it can also be used with milk for breakfast. Chew it and drink a few sips of milk to relieve the spiciness. -
21
Pack it in a sealed box and store it in the refrigerator.
Tips
1. The amount of firepower and water content determine the time of the entire cooking process, so control it flexibly.
2. Handmade old brown sugar can be replaced with brown sugar, and the weight remains the same.
3. For those who like desserts, you can crush half of the red date kernels and ginger together with a wall-breaking machine and boil them first, leaving half of the particles behind.
4. The young turmeric I used is this year’s new ginger, so it is not very spicy and is relatively mild. If I use old turmeric, it will be more pungent and exciting.
