Since ancient times, we all know the basic principles of "illness comes from the mouth" and "food is the best doctor", so paying attention to food collocation can not only make the daily diet healthier and more nutritious, but also avoid the adverse effects of food collocation on people's health.
There are already very detailed simple charts on the Internet. From this table, it is easy for people to mark whether the ingredients commonly used in daily life are not properly matched. But the collocation of tea and other ingredients involves less.
So, can medlar and tea go together? Are they "complementary"? Or "strong alliance"? In fact, in daily life, we can often see that people like to add some ingredients such as medlar, chrysanthemum, honey, ginseng, astragalus, longan and red dates when drinking tea, which is the common choice of many people who attach importance to health care. Such benefits are obvious: on the one hand, it can enrich the taste of tea and improve the taste experience when drinking tea, on the other hand, it can fully absorb the nutrition of both, and achieve the best health care effect.
Therefore, it is a good practice to add a certain amount of medlar when drinking tea. However, this is two different concepts from "Gouqi tea" on the market. The latter refers more to "tea" made by adding ingredients such as chrysanthemum, hawthorn, rose and jasmine. , also known as "wolfberry tea". I'm not sure whether there is tea in it.
However, it needs special attention that the collocation of medlar and tea depends on the specific situation. We know that in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Lycium barbarum is sweet in taste and flat in nature, which has the effects of nourishing yin and benefiting qi, tonifying kidney and moistening lung, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, and is a warming and nourishing thing. In ancient times, it was regarded as a good medicine. Since it is a "medicine", the amount and method of eating are particularly particular, not the more you eat, the better.
Secondly, we should pay attention to the amount of tea and medlar, not too much, and generally control it at 1: 4. Excessive consumption can easily make people get angry, especially those with yin deficiency.
Furthermore, if the body suffers from high blood pressure, cold and fever, gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea, it is best not to add it, so as not to aggravate inflammation and make the body more uncomfortable.
Lycium barbarum and tea can be drunk together
Shennong's herbal classics are listed as top grade, calling them "long-serving, intellectual fit, not old, resistant to cold and heat".
Lycium barbarum has the effect of delaying aging and resisting aging, also known as "Quelaozi". Lycium barbarum contains a variety of amino acids, and contains betaine, zeaxanthin, acid lycopene and other special nutrients, which has a good health care effect.
Tea is similar to Lycium barbarum in many aspects, but we know that there are six kinds of tea in China, among which green tea, yellow tea, oolong tea and white tea are non-fermented, micro-fermented and semi-fermented, which are cold in nature and warm in nature. If these tea leaves are soaked in medlar, they may reduce the efficacy of each other. Herbal tea is helpful for people with real fire constitution who are easy to get angry, but if such people use medlar to warm themselves up.
Therefore, in the process of soaking Lycium barbarum and tea, we should choose tea correctly. Fermented tea and post-fermented tea are mild in nature, which is a way of keeping in good health for people who are weak and slightly cold.
Lycium barbarum is flat in nature and sweet in taste, and mainly has the effects of tonifying kidney and essence, nourishing yin and blood, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, moistening lung and relieving cough. Lycium barbarum has become a common substance in health care drugs. Lycium barbarum is rich in amino acids, alkaloids, acid pulp and vitamins.
Drinking medlar and tea separately is of great benefit to the human body. Some people simply put two things together, which is convenient and quick. This practice itself is understandable, but when brewing together, tannic acid in tea has a strong adsorption effect, which will adsorb trace elements in Lycium barbarum and produce substances unacceptable to the human body. If you drink a lot of medlar to make tea, it is also a burden to the human body.
Tea is the most daily drink, and it has been a necessity for ethnic minorities in northwest China since the Tang Dynasty. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Lycium barbarum has the functions of promoting hematopoiesis, anti-aging and lowering blood sugar. It is recommended to brew and drink separately, which can also give full play to their respective functions.
Lycium barbarum can be taken with tea. Lycium barbarum with chrysanthemum and proper amount of tea can be decocted instead of tea. Qiju tea has the effect of tonifying kidney, nourishing liver and improving eyesight. Suitable for people who often work at night, but also for people who play computer and mobile phones, which has the effect of relieving eye fatigue.
Of course, medlar can make tea.
There is a kind of eight-treasure tea in the northwest. The ingredients of Babao tea are:
Eight-treasure tea, also known as "three teas", is a traditional drink of Hui and Dongxiang nationalities living on the ancient Silk Road. Eight-treasure tea is based on tea, with white sugar (or rock sugar), medlar, red dates, walnuts, longan, sesame seeds, raisins and apple slices. It tastes sweet and delicious, and has the effects of nourishing yin, moistening lung, clearing throat and benefiting throat.
Boiling water is needed for the brewing of eight-treasure tea, so that the taste of each tea bullet will change slightly when drinking, because each ingredient releases a unique taste at different times.
Eight-treasure tea nickname: three tea
Main raw materials: tea, sugar, medlar, red dates, longan meat.
Main effects: nourishing yin, moistening lung and clearing throat. Area: Gansu and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Taste: sweet and delicious, with unique taste.
My former colleagues in Gansu all drank tea, including tea, wolfberry, rock sugar and tea.
Of course, there are no additives in the medlar they drink. The medlar processed the day after tomorrow is directly picked from the tree and dried. The smaller the medlar, the better, not the bigger the better.
If the wolfberry you buy is red, it goes without saying that additives such as preservatives must be added.
The year before last, my friend in Ningxia gave me 3 Jin of medlar to take home. My dad made wine and tea, and he said it was much better than the wolfberry he bought before.
So now, dad, my uncle sends Lycium barbarum to drink from his hometown in Ningxia.
Health tea recommendation: it is delicious and healthy to brew with ginseng, longan, jujube, medlar and tea. Tea is like life, it is not easy to drink more, don't be greedy!
Drinking tea is a traditional culture since our ancestors. There are many kinds of tea. Different teas have different tastes and different functions.
