Counting is to make tea with several boiling waters, that is to say, soaking, also called making tea. Few people can cook with tea, and of course it is not without it. Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia like to make tea with tea or milk and goat's milk. But in general, modern people basically make tea.
The ancients or the Tang Dynasty generally paid attention to brew tea. Not only do they cook tea, but many people grind tea into powder to cook tea. The taste of tea is not particularly good, but it is even better when paired with other things, so it is not surprising that some other things have been added to tea, including onions, ginger, garlic and dates. The tea we drink is generally called tea, and the ancients called tea soup. We only use tea to make tea, so it's called tea. They use tea to cook and add other things, so it's called tea soup. And you see, in many TV dramas, tea is not invited, but invited, because after adding other things, the tea soup is almost mushy, and you still have to eat it. As for watching TV dramas, why do many people drink them? That can only be said that the TV series is not rigorous. Besides, their mouths are heavy. They should not only put ginger, onion and garlic, but also add salt and even meat. They are not only full of tea, but also full.
These habits are also reserved in modern times, but they are different. Nowadays, tea soup is more used as a medicine with many medicines, rather than simply adding onions, ginger and garlic as before. Tea has a long history. With the growth of Chinese civilization, many changes have taken place on the road of growth, which is worth exploring and thinking about.
