Honeysuckle traditional drying method Sun drying method.

There are two types of sun exposure: one is to sprinkle honeysuckle thinly on the single slate of the courtyard, Sanhe soil or on the beach, and dry it, and the thickness should not be exposed on the ground. It can be flexibly controlled according to the intensity of sunlight. If the sun is strong, it can be thicker.

If it is too thin, it dries quickly, but the quality is not good. But pay attention: 1. When the flowers are not dried to 80% or 90% of the time, do not flip them, otherwise they will turn black; 2. When flipping, do not flip them directly by hand (using other utensils), otherwise the flowers will turn black after sweating hands. If it is not dried in the day or it rains suddenly, it can be moved into the house to hang out and continue to dry in fine weather.

The other is to spread the honeysuckle thinly on a mat or dustpan for drying, and its thickness should be such that the mat surface is not exposed. The precautions are the same as the previous law.
