Tips
1. The yellower the color of the osmanthus, the stronger the fragrance
2. It is said that the pedicels of sweet-scented osmanthus will affect the taste of the finished product, so it is best to filter them out
3. Don’t add too much salt, otherwise it will taste salty
4. If you are not worried about the cleanliness of this method, you can also steam the osmanthus for 2 minutes, but this method will lose part of the fragrance
5. There is no specific limit on the amount of honey, please adjust it according to your personal situation
6. You can also use sugar to marinate. The method is the same, but I prefer the taste of honey.
