Method for Grinding and Refining Zhongru (Stalactite) (from *Shenghui Fang*)
Select Zhongru produced in Shaozhou. Regardless of thickness, as long as the color is bright, clean, and lustrous, it can be used for refining. Only those with yellow or reddish colors are not used. When refining, the degree of boiling is not strictly limited.
If one is concerned about throat discomfort, water may be added.
Add to water and stir evenly.
If it feels dry, it indicates that the water has evaporated; add more water. Maintain a consistency similar to thin rice gruel. Fine Zhongru powder will float on top, while coarse particles will sink to the bottom. Grind repeatedly around the edges of the mortar and pestle.
If there are coarse parts that are not evenly ground, continue processing.
