Chenpi tea is a popular summer drink that helps relieve heat and promote health. It is not only easy to make, but also has excellent thirst-quenching and heat-relieving effects. If you have time, why not try making it yourself? It's a delicious tea to enjoy in the hot summer!
Method 1:
Ingredients: Dried orange peel (10g), sugar, tea leaves
Instructions: Wash the dried orange peel and tear it into small pieces. Put it in a teacup with the tea leaves. Pour hot water into the cup and cover it. Let it steep for about 10 minutes, then remove the residue and add a small amount of sugar. Let it cool slightly before drinking. It's even better if you chill it in the refrigerator.
Method 2:
Ingredients: 10 oranges, 1 pack of tea leaves, water
Instructions:
1. Soak the oranges in rice water, then rinse them with clean water and pat them dry;
2. Cut open the top of the oranges and carefully remove the flesh inside;
3. Fill the orange peels with tea leaves. You can choose Pu-erh tea or your favorite tea. If the tea leaves are roasted, the health benefits will be better. However, non-roasted tea leaves can also be used, although the effects may be slightly less;
4. Hang the orange peels with tea leaves in a well-ventilated and cool place until they dry and turn into brown Chenpi. Then, they are ready to use. Just like Chenpi, the longer it ages, the richer the flavor of the Chenpi tea becomes.
Benefits: Drinking Chenpi tea made from steeping Chenpi in water can help promote digestion and relieve dampness in the body. Chenpi has excellent properties in drying dampness and resolving phlegm. Drinking Chenpi tea can effectively alleviate internal dampness and help resolve phlegm.
If you have symptoms such as poor appetite, thick greasy tongue coating, or bloating, drinking Chenpi tea can help alleviate these symptoms, especially if you use aged Chenpi, which has better phlegm-resolving effects. Drinking Chenpi tea can also have a certain effect on stubborn phlegm.
