Because the spice box cannot hold it, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and red fruits are put directly into the pot, and the rest are put into a stainless steel box. Among them, the strawberries, nutmeg, and amomum villosum are scattered with the back of a knife, and the galangal is chopped into small pieces and then placed in the box to better distribute the fragrance.
