2. Use your hands to pull off the leaves and discard the branches. This is to make it easier to knead it later.

3. Soak the leaves in clean water, rub and squeeze them vigorously until the leaves become soft.

4. The color of the clear water should be almost dyed to this level by the juice in the leaves. If you want to extract more fully, you can also use a blender to crush the leaves and water thoroughly, and then filter out the residue. The rice will be darker when cooked that way.

5. Wash the glutinous rice.

6. Filter out the leaves, leaving the dyed water. Although it is yellow-green in color, it will turn black after cooking.
