Matters needing attention in drinking chrysanthemum tea:
1, drink with the bubble, but don't stay overnight. Chrysanthemum tea is rich in flavonoids, has good antioxidant properties, can help the human body eliminate free radicals, and has many health care effects such as lowering cholesterol and inhibiting blood pressure increase. However, flavonoids are unstable and easy to oxidize, which makes tea lose its original yellow color and turn green, and its health care function will also decline. Therefore, chrysanthemum tea should be brewed and drunk now, and it is best not to put it for too long.
2. Don't put rock sugar. Don't add rock sugar to hot people. For people with weak coldness, adding some rock sugar to chrysanthemum tea can slightly weaken the coldness and is more suitable for their physique. For people with strong heat, adding rock sugar will weaken the heat-clearing effect of chrysanthemum tea. It is suggested that dried fruit can be used instead of rock sugar.
3. Learn to match scientifically. No matter what kind of chrysanthemum is cold, people with general yang deficiency constitution (usually afraid of cold) and spleen and stomach deficiency cold (stomach pain and stomach discomfort when eating cold food) suggest that autumn mulberry, medlar and dried fruit can be used to make tea for chrysanthemum, which has better effect of clearing liver and improving eyesight. Lycium barbarum can nourish liver and kidney, and mulberry leaves can prevent and treat colds.
Chrysanthemum is sweet and has nourishing effect on liver and kidney. With medlar nourishing liver and kidney, the effect is even stronger. Both mulberry leaves and chrysanthemum have the effects of dispersing wind-heat and clearing away liver-heat and improving eyesight, and their combination can relieve symptoms such as fever and headache in the early stage of wind-heat cold.
4. Avoid eating with ingredients. Chrysanthemum cooked with chicken and pork will be poisoned, and it is not suitable to eat with celery.
