For this the bean cake is made of Chinese red beans.

(a) Wrap up the cakes in a piece of cloth in any desired size. Put pressure on top for 5 days.

(b) Take off the weight. Then the cloth. Scrape off the mold on top.

(c) Place in a jar. Fill the jar 1/4 full of Fun Wine, and add plenty of salt.

(d) Cover air-tight, and set away for not less than two weeks; the longer, the better, provided the jar is kept air-tight.

HOW TO MAKE TEA

Use 1 level teaspoonful of tea to 1 cup of water.

Heat the water until it just reaches the boiling-point, but no more. If you are scientific, insert a thermometer graduated with centigrade degrees. When it reaches 99º remove from the fire at once.

Pour immediately into a half-pint teapot which contains 1 teaspoonful of Chinese tea.

Keep covered for three minutes. Then serve.
