What to drink in summer to clear away heat and fire?
Scented tea has always been called "natural healthy drink", and different kinds have different curative effects, such as calming, clearing away heat, strengthening stomach, beautifying and treating colds. There are several kinds of herbal teas that have remarkable effects on relieving summer heat. Summer is hot and humid, so you might as well drink more.

Lily tea: Lily is rich in protein, sugar, phosphorus, iron and various trace elements, which has extremely high medicinal and edible values. When making tea, take 2 -3 grams of lily each time and stew in boiling water for about 10 minute. After brewing, the tea leaves are golden in color and bitter in taste, which can reduce fire, cool and moisten the lungs. It is the best summer drink.

Calendula tea: Calendula is sweet and can clear away heat and fire, and clear away damp heat. You can add some rock sugar or honey to drink when brewing. Drinking a cup when you have a cold has diuretic and antipyretic effects, and is also good for the treatment of digestive system ulcers and lymphadenitis, as well as relieving female dysmenorrhea. But remember, pregnant women should not drink it.

Trollius tea: Trollius has always been used as an ornamental flower. Recently, it has been found that it can clear away heat and toxic materials, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, refresh the mind and strengthen the stomach, and has obvious curative effects on stomatitis, pharyngitis and tonsillitis. Take 3-5g of Trollius chinensis and brew in boiling water for 5 minutes, or add 2-3 marigold flowers to brew together. Although Trollius chinensis looks good, it tastes bitter when making tea. You can add some rock sugar to adjust the taste.

Osmanthus fragrans: Osmanthus fragrans has the functions of whitening the skin, removing toxins from the body, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, preserving health and moistening the lungs. In summer, many people will feel dry skin or hoarse voice because of getting angry. Adding osmanthus into green tea or oolong tea can alleviate this problem.

The above scented tea can be bought in most tea shops. When the weather is too hot, it will taste better if it is chilled in the refrigerator. If ice cubes are added, pay attention to reducing the water content of 1/3- 1/2 when brewing, so as not to dilute the taste of tea after adding ice cubes. Put it in the refrigerator every time you can't finish eating it.
