To make colorful skin, you can use bluepea flower water, beetroot powder, cacao powder, etc.

Lotus Paste Instructions
- Rinse and soak lotus seeds in water for 30 minutes.
- Boil the seeds for 20 minutes until soft. Blend the seeds into a smooth paste (you can add some of the water used in boiling the seeds).

For a 25g mold, I use about 14g skin and 11g filling. For a 50g mold, I use about 27g skin and 23g filling.
