1, choose dandelion
To make dandelion tea, you should choose those fat and wide leaves. It is good to make dandelion tea with leaves collected when dandelion flowers are in bud. Dandelion buds are a little bitter to eat, but they taste a little worse to make tea.
Step 2 pick dandelions
Dandelion's roots and flowers are also excellent medicinal materials, but what we are making today is tea fried with dandelion leaves, so when picking dandelion, just choose the leaves directly, without uprooting, just slightly remove the yellow leaves at the bottom and pick the fat and light green ones.
Step 3 wash dandelions
Ants and insects began to appear this season, among which ants like to stay on dandelions very much. Look at DuDu's picture. Are there any small ants crawling? Besides, dandelions grow in the wild and have a lot of dust. All dandelions picked must be washed with clean water, and those entering the mouth must be healthy and hygienic. After washing, soak the leaves in clear water for one hour.
Step 4 steam dandelion in pot
Take out the washed dandelion, control the water to dry, brush the cauldron, put on the curtain, cover the lid, put the dandelion on the curtain after the water boils, and then cover the lid. Don't wait too long. Seeing dandelion leaves is like being scalded by hot water. This step is often called "fixing".
5. dried dandelion
Leave the steam in the hot pot quickly, find a curtain to put the dandelion leaves next to each other, and then put them outside to dry. When drying, double it every once in a while, and try to dry all the leaves until they are half dry.
6. Stir-fried dandelion
This is the most critical step. If you don't have a cauldron, you can use an induction cooker, but you must control the temperature, otherwise the frying will be wasted. Put the dried dandelion leaves into the pot, stir-fry them slowly with low fire, and be sure to turn them constantly so that each leaf is heated evenly until all the water in the leaves disappears, and the leaves are slightly rolled up and fragrant. This is dandelion tea.
7. Let it cool and box dandelion tea.
Don't worry about the packaging of the fried tea, the residual temperature inside will make dandelion tea tide quickly. Find a clean object and dry the fried leaves. Don't take them outside. Just dry it quietly in the house. Try it with your hands. Only when the temperature in the dandelion tea disappears completely can you put them in the box.
8. Drinking methods in dandelion tea
In dandelion tea, we usually drink tea the same. Pour hot water and put warm drinks, but people with poor spleen and stomach should try not to drink, and don't drink at will when drinking. You'd better make the tea light. A book and a cup of tea is simple, but it is the truest happiness.
If someone is too lazy to do it, or the conditions do not allow, they can also ask Ma Yun and Dong Qiang brothers. Both dandelion root tea and dandelion leaf tea in Kangxi Xi Shou are good.
