I remember when I was a child, no matter what the festival, the family had to do "gray water sticks" People cut back some "yellow oak trees" from the mountain to burn it into ash, and when the ash cooled, they put it on the gauze basket, poured boiling water on the ash, and the ash water was filtered in the basin under the basket, and then the rice was soaked in gray water for an hour or two, and ground into rice milk with stone grinding.
Nowadays, most of the gray water fins are replaced by alkali powder without gray water, nor are they stone grinded but beaten, but the fins made of rice milk made of stone grinding are more flexible and smooth. Finally, put the rice milk in the pot and cook it, and the gray water fins are made.
