1. Is chrysanthemum tea cooling in nature?

Chrysanthemum tea is cooling in nature.

1. Chrysanthemum tea tastes sweet and bitter, and is slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of dispersing wind-heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight, and clearing away heat and detoxifying.

2. How to brew chrysanthemum tea correctly?

1. First boil the water in a small pot, add the chrysanthemum and then turn to low heat and cook for about one minute, then pour the chrysanthemum tea into the teapot and drink it when the tea color becomes thick. This method of brewing releases the most intense tea aroma, so good things come to those who know. However, the process of brewing chrysanthemum tea using this method is a little more complicated and may take a longer time, so it takes a certain amount of patience to drink good tea.

2. Place the chrysanthemums in a teapot or filter and pour boiling water directly into it. The chrysanthemums will quickly expand and emit fragrance. However, the disadvantage of this brewing method is that it can easily cause the chrysanthemum to crush and produce tea debris.

3. First put hot water into the teapot, then put the chrysanthemum in, and then fill it up with hot water. This method of brewing tea will be cleaner, but because the chrysanthemum expands slower than the previous two methods, the color of the tea will appear lighter.

4. Fill the teapot with hot water first, then put the chrysanthemums in to soak. This method can keep the flowers and plants in their original shape, and you can control the soaking time yourself. It is best to wait until the chrysanthemums are fully expanded before drinking the tea, as the aroma will be stronger.

3. How to choose chrysanthemum tea

① Look at the color of the chrysanthemum: Do not choose chrysanthemums that are too bright or too beautiful. This kind of chrysanthemum is likely to have been processed twice, and drinking it for a long time is not good for the human body. You should choose chrysanthemums with a greenish color, as they are the freshest; avoid dark-colored chrysanthemums as they have been stored for too long.

② Touch the chrysanthemums: Touch them with your hand. Good and fresh chrysanthemums are soft and will not fall off or become messy if you touch them gently. If a chrysanthemum loses many petals when touched, it means that the chrysanthemum is relatively old and should not be purchased.

③ Look at the price: The price of good chrysanthemums is not low, usually more than 80 or 90 yuan per kilogram, so don’t try to buy it cheaply. The quality of products with very low prices cannot be guaranteed.
