When making chrysanthemum tea, it is best to use a transparent glass cup, put four or five chrysanthemums in it each time, and then brew it with boiling water. If there are many people drinking, you can use a transparent teapot, put a small handful of tea at a time, pour in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, and then pour the tea into several glass cups. If you add a little honey, the taste will be better.

However, it is best not to drink wild chrysanthemum as it tastes bitter. If people with allergies want to drink chrysanthemum tea, they should try brewing one or two flowers first. If there is no problem, they can brew 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. When drinking chrysanthemum tea, people often like to add a few pieces of rock sugar to enhance the taste. Although it is okay to add rock sugar to chrysanthemum tea, for people with diabetes or high blood sugar, it is best not to add sugar and should drink the chrysanthemum alone. In addition, some people with spleen deficiency should not add sugar, because overly sweet tea can cause a sticky or sour mouth and excessive saliva. Therefore, people who don't understand their own physical condition should not add rock sugar when drinking chrysanthemum tea.
