How to soak wormwood in water and drink wormwood?
First, I chose the wormwood I used here. There is a saying called wormwood in March and wormwood in April, which means wormwood in March is the most suitable for medicine. When choosing wormwood, it is best to choose wild wasteland, pick it back and wash it, and don't expose it to the sun, mainly dry it in the shade. Take 10g of dried Herba Artemisiae Scopariae and put it into a container containing 500ml of water.

Second, wash the wormwood with clear water, because it is easy to break after drying. Be careful not to let the water wash away when cleaning. It's best to find a filter to block the water change. If you don't have it at home, you can go to the drugstore to buy some soaked water and wash the wormwood for later use.

Thirdly, in this step, we put the cleaned Herba Artemisiae Scopariae into a boiling pot, add 500ml of prepared water, boil it later, and soak it for a while. I cook in a small milk pot here, and it's best to use ceramics when I have ceramic pot at home. If you have time, it is better to boil the wormwood before drinking it than to soak it in hot water directly.

Fourth, soak the wormwood for a while, then ignite and boil, and then cook for 3-5 minutes with low fire. The cooking time is not long. It is recommended that someone always check it in front of the pot. Do not boil all the water at once. Turn off the heat after boiling as shown in the figure, and then put it in the cup for a while.

Fifth, I pour the cooked wormwood into the health pot. I only drink occasionally to keep fit. My mother-in-law poured into her thermos cup and drank the boiled wormwood water directly. So it's best to drink it as a medicine for treating diseases, and don't continue to boil water. It doesn't matter if you use it for health.

Sixth, in fact, wormwood water is not bitter, much more bitter than dandelion. If you want to nourish and protect the liver, you must insist on drinking, but for special people, it is best to consult Chinese medicine before drinking. My mother-in-law has had normal transaminase for two months.

Seventh, I boiled wormwood water to drink today, purely for health. Boiled wormwood water is below 60 degrees, and you can drink it with proper amount of medlar. Lycium barbarum also has the effect of nourishing liver and improving eyesight. It's not bad to drink two together. It tastes quite good.

Eighth, after seeing the wolfberry bubbling slightly, we can pour the wormwood water in the health pot into the drinking cup, filter out the wormwood residue, and then we can drink it directly. Of course, if it is used for health preservation, you can also put two or three red dates to replenish qi and blood. Wormwood water is especially delicious to drink like this.
