When it comes to "drinking tea" in Japan, it generally refers to green tea or baked tea, black tea, herbal tea, coffee and so on. , but in Korea, the scope is wider. For example, in our family, apple tea is essential. The apple was peeled, sliced, mixed with the same amount of sugar, and marinated overnight to make apple syrup. Then pour in hot water and make tea according to your personal preference. Apple is a fruit of Rosaceae, and its taste has a relaxing effect. A drink when you can't sleep will be very effective. Others include apricot tea, pear tea and citron tea. Seasonal fruits are preserved with sugar and put in sealed cans, which can often be used as tea.
In addition, the most indispensable thing is jujube. In South Korea, people regard dates as "fruit given by God". It can regulate the condition of the stomach and make us feel calm. It is also used as Chinese medicine. There are jujube trees in our yard, which bear a lot of fruits. Besides making tea, it can also be made into dishes or mixed with rice.
The importance of tea, of course, lies in that all kinds of tea have their own functions. However, focusing on making tea and enjoying tea leisurely is the most relaxing thing in itself. Drinking tea can relax our nervous mind and stimulate our depressed mood. Let's listen to the voice of body and mind and choose different teas to drink according to the physical condition of the day.
