I stayed up for a week recently, staring at the screen every day, which made my eyes swollen, my lips peeled, and when I looked in the mirror in the morning, my face looked dull and rough to the touch. When the aunt downstairs saw me like this, she took me and chatted for a long time, saying that she relied on making some home-made tea to nourish her body in spring, which was more effective than any tonic. As soon as I heard it, I wrote it down and tried cooking it when I got home. Unexpectedly, it worked.
The materials are all dry goods and can be purchased in supermarkets.
Don't go looking for expensive medicinal materials. Just dried roses, dried osmanthus, and red dates are all available at the dry goods stalls in the supermarket. If you find it tasteless, add two pieces of rock sugar, or add a spoonful of brown sugar, all according to your own taste. I was just lazy at first. After washing the red dates and cutting them into small pieces, I threw them directly into the pot and cooked them without even removing the date cores. Later I learned that the jujube pits are very dry and would be milder if cooked without the pits. I tried it and it was indeed much more comfortable to drink.
There is a certain order in making tea, don’t mess with it
Roses are delicate and sweet-scented osmanthus is delicate. They cannot be put into the pot with red dates. Because after cooking for a long time, the aroma is completely gone, and it will also take on a bit of bitterness. Wait until the red dates are almost cooked, then put them in a few minutes before turning off the heat. After putting them in, quickly cover the lid and let it simmer. Don't always open it to smell it, otherwise the fragrance will drift away. After simmering for three to five minutes, the moment you open the lid, the room is filled with that clear and sweet fragrance, which makes you feel comfortable. Sometimes I am in a hurry in the morning, so I cut the red dates and put them in a crisper the night before, and then throw them directly into the pot when I get up the next day. It doesn't take a few minutes at all.
Much better than scented tea bags, one sip will warm your stomach
In the past, I was often keen on buying ready-made flower tea bags that were already well packaged. However, after taking them apart, a stale smell would hit my nostrils, as if they had been left for a long time, and the brewed tea would be as light as white water. There are a few bags accumulated in half a drawer, and they are never used. It feels like a pity to throw them away, and they take up space if they are kept. This is not the case with the one I cooked myself. It is freshly dried and the aroma is real. Take a small sip and swallow. The aroma of dates is mixed with the fragrance of flowers. It is refreshing and sweet, without any bitterness at all, and even your stomach feels warm. After drinking it for almost half a month, my face is not so tight when I wake up in the morning. It feels much softer to the touch, and the dark yellow condition has also been alleviated. Even my sleep is stable, and I will not toss and turn for half the night without being able to fall asleep.
When you get angry, add chrysanthemum, it is more comfortable than throat lozenges
Sometimes, I will get angry, my eyes will become dry, and my throat will hurt. At this time, I will add two or three dried chrysanthemums to it. After drinking it, you will feel cool and comfortable, starting from your throat and continuing to your stomach, and your whole person will become much clearer. In the spring, I always felt that my throat was very dry and I needed to suck on several kinds of lozenges. However, if I sucked on too many lozenges, my mouth would become bitter and I would feel very sour. Now I drink this every day and rarely have that dry and painful feeling anymore. There is no need to buy expensive materials, ordinary bulk dry goods will do. After buying them, store them in a dry place. They can be used and taken at any time. They will not go bad after a season or two.
It is comfortable to drink every day and much more cost-effective than milk tea.
Calculated on a monthly basis, the money spent on purchasing materials that can be used for production is not much, and it is much cheaper than going out to buy milk tea every day. The remaining funds can be used to purchase two kilograms of small oranges that have just been put on the market. Their taste is sour and sweet. After peeling off the skin, the fragrance of the skin will fill your hands, which has the effect of relieving tiredness and appetizing. Now I carry a pot of hot tea with me every time I go out. If I take a sip when I have free time, my whole body will become moisturized, and I will even be more willing to walk two more laps. Pour a warm cup at home in the evening and sip a small amount while watching TV. Isn't this more beneficial than drinking carbonated drinks? There are no many additives and it feels safe to drink. Personally, I feel that drinking comfortably and comfortably is more important than anything else. You might as well try it when you have nothing to do. It may suit your taste.
In essence, this is a small daily habit, and there is no need to seek any special effects. If you like sweetness, add an extra piece of sugar. If you are afraid of sweetness, don't add it. It all depends on your preference. In spring, the wind is strong and the face will be dry. Instead of applying thick moisturizer but it won't last until noon, it is better to moisturize from the inside and try this pot of homemade sweet tea. Maybe you will like it too.
