Detailed Steps for Cooking Rose and Red Date Paste for Beauty

Wash the red dates and soak them in water for 20 minutes.

Weigh the rose flowers, rose petals, and goji berries, wash the mixed tea dry, add 200g of water to the pot, and soak for 10 minutes.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for about 20 minutes until the soup turns brown. Strain the cooked soup and put it in a clean container. Add 200g of water to the remaining residue, repeat the cooking process three times, and the resulting liquid is the rose and goji berry soup.

Steam the washed red dates in a pot.

After the red dates have cooled, remove the pits and set aside.

Put the pitted red dates and 2/3 of the cooked tea juice into a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour the remaining 1/3 of the rose water and date paste into a non-stick pan and cook over high heat.

After the date paste boils, add brown sugar, reduce the heat to low, and continue to cook while stirring clockwise to prevent sticking to the pan.

Cook for about 30 minutes until the paste is thick. When scooped up, the paste should slowly fall and the lines should disappear slowly.

Let the red date paste cool slightly and pour 1 spoonful of maltose or honey on top to prevent spoilage. Finally, seal it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator.
