How to dry osmanthus?

When osmanthus is dried in the sun, pay attention to thinning it to make it evenly heated. The heating time should be short (try several times), the temperature should not be too high, generally 80 degrees is better, and it should not be higher than 100 degrees. Be patient and dry slowly. In addition, if dried osmanthus can meet high quality standards, it can be roasted with fire.

If it looks too dark, yellow and dry, or even a little burnt, it means that the temperature of osmanthus fragrans is not well controlled during the drying process, which leads to yellowing and zooming of osmanthus fragrans. Generally speaking, the good color of dried osmanthus is yellow or a little close to white, and there will be no obvious burning sensation on the lace surface.
