Is it okay to put rock sugar in tea

China's tea drinking culture is broad and profound, and it is also the main essence of our traditional culture. However, there are many types of tea, so we must choose tea according to our own taste. If you feel that the tea is bitter, you can add some rock sugar so that your mouth won’t feel dry. However, it is not suitable for women with a cold constitution. Now let’s take a look at the benefits of adding rock sugar to tea.

It's okay to add rock sugar when drinking tea. Rock sugar has a good effect of clearing heat, cooling and moistening the lungs. As for the side effects, if your body is relatively cold, that is, if your hands and feet are often cold, eating too much rock sugar will aggravate the coldness of your body. Therefore, if you often get inflamed, you can drink rock sugar water, and if you often have cold hands and feet, you can switch to brown sugar.

Adding sugar to tea is harmless to humans; but it is not very appropriate. Tea is not just a drink, it also has spiritual connotations. Especially for good tea, its fragrance and taste are worth savoring and experiencing carefully. Once seasoning is added to it, the taste will be lost. Therefore, when the ancients discussed the ten types of tea, there was a saying that "children should add sugar to their tea." Furthermore, adding sugar to jasmine tea may taste good when you drink it, but it will cause sourness in your mouth after drinking it; it is recommended to drink plain tea, as it is enjoyable after all the bitterness.

"Adding some sugar to tea is to improve the taste. Adding sugar occasionally has no effect and it depends on personal taste. But from a long-term perspective, drinking tea with sugar for a long time is not good for health and is not recommended." From a nutritionist's perspective, the negative impact of adding sugar to tea on health comes more from excessive energy intake.

For office workers, when they are occasionally under great pressure or lack energy from staying up late, adding sugar to tea can help relieve stress. It can also help increase the glucose lost in large quantities during mental work, maintain blood sugar stability and replenish the energy needed for work. However, if you drink sweetened tea in large quantities as a regular beverage, its effect is comparable to that of sweetened drinks, which is harmful rather than beneficial to human health.

When drinking chrysanthemum tea, people often like to add a few pieces of rock sugar to enhance the taste. Professor Chang believes that it is okay to add rock sugar to chrysanthemum tea, but for people with diabetes or high blood sugar, it is best not to add sugar and they should drink the chrysanthemum alone. In addition, some people with spleen deficiency and damp kidney should not add sugar, because overly sweet tea will cause them to have a sticky or sour mouth, excessive saliva, and feel uncomfortable. Therefore, people who don’t know their own physical condition should not add rock sugar when drinking chrysanthemum tea.

People with allergies who want to drink chrysanthemum tea should try one or two flowers first. If there is no problem, they can drink more, but they should not drink too much. In addition, since chrysanthemum is cool in nature, people with weak body, spleen deficiency, cold stomach, and those who are prone to diarrhea should not drink it. Generally speaking, chrysanthemum tea is most suitable for people who suffer from dizziness, red and swollen eyes, sore throat, liver fire and high blood pressure.
