This invention relates to a method for preparing a
fern-like beverage.
Fern-like
fern (
Pteris tigrinosa) is a
plant belonging to the
genus *
Pteris* in the family Pteridaceae. The young leaves of *
Pteris tigrinosa* are edible because they have a refreshing cucumber-like
aroma, hence the
common name "cucumber-scented
fern." The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a high-quality fern-like fern beverage, taking
advantage of the fern's rich content of various beneficial components and its cucumber-like
aroma. The preparation method involves adding taste-adjusting ingredients to water and mixing thoroughly. Cleaned young fern shoots, processed to a size of 1 mm to 10 mm, are then added to the solution. The mixture is mixed thoroughly, bottled, and the bottled fern-like fern beverage is sterilized in a water bath at 70℃-100℃ for 30 minutes to obtain the finished product. This invention is beneficial for the development and utilization of fern-like fern in beverages.
