To tie a knot in a cherry stem with your tongue, start by removing a large, long-tipped stem from a cherry and holding it in your mouth for 10-30 seconds to soften it. Then, lay the stem lengthwise across the top of your tongue and press it against the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Next, gently bite down until the 2 ends of the stem cross over each other and make an "X" shape near the front of your mouth. Once you've done that, use your tongue to push one end of the stem through the loop. Finally, grab one end of the stem with your fingers and pull on it to tighten the knot.
