更新 Latest Update~ 18/6/2018

每年端午节必裹的*碱水粽子*，
小小一个碱水粽，QQ的口感，
老公与孩子都爱搭配椰香黑糖一起吃！

家人很爱吃碱水粽子，
尤其是搭配椰香黑糖一起吃，
今年自己尝试裹*碱水粽子*，
食材非常简单
只是煮的时间拿捏的不是很好，
初体验~口感软了些，有待改进。

碱水粽子材料：
糯米 半公斤，洗净浸至少4小时
碱水 15毫升
食油 1大匙
粽叶 50小片
草绳

做法：
1.将已浸4小时的糯米与碱水和食油混合均匀。
2.用一小片粽叶，将粽叶1/3向上折，成一个尖底袋,加入大匙的糯米然后裹成三角锥形，用草绳绑好。切记不能把碱水粽子绑得太紧，要不然，煮出来的粽子会很硬。
3.起火炭，少开一锅热水，约3升水，待水滚后把已经裹好的肉粽子放入锅里，滚水一定要盖过粽子，煮越1小时即可。中间如果发现水份少了，可以加入烧水。
4.一个小时后，将粽子捞起沥干水。
5.享用时，搭配椰香黑糖一起吃，味道更佳！
