So, if you have rinsed it, immediately drain the vegetables. Basically, this vegetable can be mixed directly with the anointing spices. However, to make it last longer, mix these two ingredients while roasting them in a pan.

Roast briefly for up to 5 minutes so that the water evaporates. If so, add the ointment spices. Then stir until these two ingredients are evenly mixed, for approximately 5 minutes.
