         10 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 9 , wherein the firm cylindrical structure is selected from a wooden stick, a metal tube, or a glass tube. 
     
     
         11 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 9 , wherein the leaves of ramon tree are rolled onto the firm cylindrical structure with the aid of a thin sheet. 
     
     
         12 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 11 , wherein the thin sheet is selected from a bond paper sheet, an aluminum foil sheet, a waxed paper sheet, a cotton paper sheet, a craft paper sheet, or a mixture thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 6 , wherein at least one strip is cut from a layer of unrolled ramon tree leaves to subsequently make a filter. 
     
     
         14 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 13 , wherein two strips are cut from a layer of unrolled ramon tree leaves to the same width as the circumference of the firm cylindrical structure. 
     
     
         15 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 14 , wherein one of the strips is zigzag folded and the other strip is used to wrap around the zigzag folded strip to form a filter. 
     
     
         16 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 15 , wherein the filter is also wrapped with a thin sheet.
