    Mix mugwort juice and glutinous rice flour evenly. If you like it sweet, you can add sugar at this step. I personally don't like it too sweet, and since the sweet red beans are also sweet, I didn't add sugar.

    Take a fresh-keeping bowl, spread a layer of oil to prevent sticking and make it easier to demold after steaming, pour in the mixed liquid, (half of the liquid) steam in a pot of boiling water over high heat for about 5 minutes until the liquid solidifies.

    When the steaming time is up, the pastries will be slightly darker in color. After cooling, cut them into pieces to eat, or you can fry them in oil until fragrant to eat.
