Homemade black sesame balls

Black sesame is a very good substance and is generally very beneficial to people's health. For example, if the human body has very little melanin, the hair will become yellower or whiter. Therefore, melanin should be supplemented regularly. Then black sesame is the most suitable substance. Black sesame can be made into sesame balls by yourself. How to make homemade black sesame balls?

How to make black sesame balls

Step 1: Soak and rinse in clean water

This step is critical. Because there is a screening process, a small sieve is used to wash the sesame seeds, and the unfilled sesame seeds floating on the water surface are discarded. We only use plump sesame seeds from the sieve.

Step 2: Test the germination rate of plump sesame seeds

Check whether the vitality contained in it is vigorous. The germination rate must not be lower than 95%. The results of several germination observations have reached 97% or even 100%. Some of them may be due to too much water bubbles during the germination process. Only sesame seeds with such a high germination rate and that are all alive can be selected to make sesame balls.

Step 3: Steaming

On sunny days, start steaming at 5 a.m. every day and steam for an hour. At this time, a strong aroma of black sesame will be emitted. It must be steamed thoroughly, and when the time is up, put the black sesame seeds into a clean round bamboo dustpan.

Step 4: Sun Drying

Be careful not to spread the sesame seeds too thickly to ensure that the sesame seeds on the bottom layer can be exposed to sunlight. Spread a thin layer, less than 0.5 cm on average. Turn the sesame seeds over every 0.5-1 hour to ensure that they are evenly dried. Start drying at 8 am every day and collect after 5 pm to absorb enough Yang energy from heaven and earth!

Step 5: Repeat the above steps eight times

Repeat the above steps nine times. Remember to wash it every time because there will be dust when it is dried outside.

Step 6: Grinding

The black sesame seeds that have been steamed and dried nine times are first ground twice with a stone mill, and then crushed with a stone mortar. The reason why they are not mixed with honey before pounding is that many experiments have found that when the black sesame seeds are crushed with warm honey, the essence of the black sesame seeds that Master Yin Guang said is the most nutritious for the human body - "large-grinded sesame oil" will precipitate in large quantities, which is a pity and cannot be recovered. Therefore, the order is adjusted to ensure that the "damo sesame oil" is lost as little as possible.

Step 7: Refining Honey

When refining honey, first boil the honey over high heat, then switch to low heat and slowly simmer it into honey that "drops of water form pearls", while removing impurities such as beeswax floating on the surface of the honey.

Step 8: Pill Making

Mix sesame seeds and honey in appropriate proportions, make them into balls, roll them into appropriate round shapes, and wrap them with wax paper. Put the prepared meatballs into bags and seal them.
