3. Wash the dates and soak for a few hours.

4. Wrapping:

-Fold two pieces of bamboo leaves into the shape of a cone, put in one date and add one spoon of glutinous rice in to the cone. Then put in another date, and fill up the cone with glutinous rice. Hold the cone with one hand to secure its shape.

- Fold down the leave to close the cone. Press it firmly, so it will not fall apart and get a tight seal. - Fold the extra leaves to one side of the zongzi.

- Lastly, secure the shape of the zongzi with a twine.

步骤：

1. 糯米淘洗干净后，泡在清水中36-48小时。

2. 将竹叶的叶角剪下，如果是干粽叶，需要在水中浸泡一晚。

3. 将红枣洗净，浸泡若干小时。

4. 包粽子：

-粽叶两张交叠，卷起成漏斗状，先放一颗大枣防止煮的时候漏米。再填入一大半的糯米，放一颗枣，再将糯米填入至九分满。把上方的粽叶往下压，把漏斗里的馅料压紧，将盖住漏斗的粽叶两边分别折下去然后用棉线扎紧即可。

5. 高压锅中煮2个小时出锅即可食用。
