safflower, water, wine vinegar
Preparation Steps
Take three rotls of safflower, leave it in the sun for a day, then grind it. Hang it in a filter, pour water over it until a thick, red liquid comes out. Take sixty rotls of water and let it drip into a basin. Put the safflower in ten parts of water, stir, rub it a second time, and pour the clear water over it.
