Chrysanthemum tea @ 菊花茶


Hello everybody, dis is SPP's 1st post here, wanna intro u guys a healthy drink ~
Chrysanthemum tea
Usually lazy ppl (macam SPP) will juz steep the chrysanthemum flowers in hot water in either a teapot, cup, or glass,then dah consider chrysanthemum tea. But dis time, SPG added some other ingredients making the 菊花茶 more interesting ~ more chinese.
Here it goes
chrysanthemum flowers ~ 菊花
red dates ~ 红枣
wolfberry ~ 枸杞
rock sugar ~ 冰糖
candied winter melon ~ 冬瓜糖
Juz add all these ingredients into boiling water, till the sugar melts and the solution color turns golden yellow with a floral aroma.
Why drink chrysanthemum tea?
According to SPP's research, chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, such as aiding in recovery from influenza, acne as well as prevent sore throat.
But SPP like it juz becoz its nice aroma n taste. Hahaha
So if u are free, esp when the weather is super hot, try out 菊花茶.
*eh-hemm*
