Cistanche deserticola, also known as Cistanche deserticola, Cunninghamia deserticola, or Golden Bamboo Shoot, is an annual parasitic herbaceous plant in the Orobaceae family. Because it was once a medicinal herb in the palace, it is also known as Imperial Cistanche. After harvesting in spring, place half buried and half exposed in the sand, and dry it to become light and sweet. Slice the dried Cistanche into slices, mix well with yellow wine, seal tightly in a jar, steam until the yellow wine is soaked, and air dry to obtain the wine.
