Chrysanthemum not only has ornamental value, but also contributes to health. Adding rock sugar or honey to chrysanthemum tea makes it taste sweet. In hot summer, it will taste more unique if you drink it after freezing. What kind of chrysanthemum tea is better? Many friends don't know. Let's have a look.
What kinds of chrysanthemums are there? What are the effects?
There are two kinds of chrysanthemums: domestic chrysanthemums and wild chrysanthemums. Wild chrysanthemums are very common, often on the roadside. The flowers of wild chrysanthemums are small, mostly yellow, and they don't look very beautiful. The cold nature of wild chrysanthemum is relatively heavy, so its heat clearing and fire removing effect is also strong. It also has the anti-inflammatory effect. If you encounter problems such as burning, bad breath, toothache, inflammation, etc., you can drink some wild chrysanthemum soaking water in an appropriate amount, which is very effective to alleviate these problems. However, it should be noted that the wild chrysanthemum is too cold to drink too much at one time. People with poor spleen and stomach should not drink it.
Hangzhou white chrysanthemum is the best kind of chrysanthemum with higher nutritional value. Hangzhou white chrysanthemum has many effects. In addition to its anti-inflammatory and fire reducing effects, it also has the eye brightening effect. People who often watch mobile phones can drink some Hangzhou white chrysanthemum to soak in water if their eyes feel tired. Hangbai Chrysanthemum can also help reduce blood pressure and blood fat. People with high blood pressure and blood fat can drink some of it in moderation. Chrysanthemum also has many functions such as enhancing immunity, promoting digestion, diuresis, and nourishing the liver. Taking a bath with Chrysanthemum can also help relieve itching, which is good for the skin.
How to choose a good chrysanthemum?
Now more and more people pay attention to health care, especially women, often like to buy some chrysanthemum tea. There are many kinds of chrysanthemums, so you will be confused when selecting them. When selecting chrysanthemums, you can first look at the petals. Good chrysanthemums have relatively complete petals, and when you soak in water, you will see a complete flower. Then you can observe the color. Normal tribute chrysanthemum or white chrysanthemum will appear milky white. If the color is snow-white, you'd better not buy it, because it may have been smoked by sulfur.
If the color of the chrysanthemum is dark and brown, it is an old chrysanthemum. It is likely to become moldy, so it must be carefully selected. Natural chrysanthemums smell better. If you smell abnormal chrysanthemums, you may have been fumigated by sulfur. Soft chrysanthemums feel better.
How to make chrysanthemum tea
Step 1: Tea washing
Although chrysanthemums are different from tea leaves, don't forget that many dust and grease are mixed into chrysanthemums during the drying process, so you must soak them in 80 ℃ hot water for 3 to 5 seconds, and then quickly filter the water. Because the nutrition of chrysanthemums will be filtered out after a long time, this contradiction must grasp the best golden junction.
Step 2: Make tea
Flush the chrysanthemum with 100 ℃ boiling water or 90 ℃ hot water, and leave it for 5 minutes to drink. It must be hot water rushing into the chrysanthemum instead of putting it into the hot water. This is because the hot water will stir the chrysanthemum, and the foam will be full of Langli, so you don't need to go to the special mixing, but when you put the chrysanthemum into the hot water, you need to stir it, otherwise the chrysanthemum will float on the water.
Step 3: repeated soaking
As for the number of times of repeated soaking, I personally think that only two times is enough. More times, for example, more than three times is meaningless. There is no nutrition anymore, except for wasting your efforts.
