In my daily life, I often use honeysuckle to make tea. It not only has a refreshing taste, but also has great health benefits. Especially when combined with mint, it not only has the effect of clearing heat and reducing inflammation, but also nourishes the heart and refreshes the mind!
[Ingredients]
Honeysuckle, goji berries, mint leaves, chrysanthemum, honey.
[Preparation Method]
1. Put honeysuckle, goji berries, and chrysanthemum in a glass teapot. Pour in a little hot water, steep for a while, and then pour out the water to wash away any impurities on the flowers. Rinse the mint leaves with cold water.
2. Put all the ingredients into a teapot, pour in hot water, let it steep for 3 minutes. After it cools down slightly, add some honey and stir well. Then it is ready to drink.
[Health Benefits]
Honeysuckle and mint tea has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dispersing wind-heat, soothing the throat, relieving heat and annoyance, and refreshing the mind. After a busy day of work, it serves as a refreshing agent to relieve fatigue and calm the mind. It is suitable for white-collar workers in the city who have high work pressure.
[Precautions]
Although honeysuckle can clear heat and reduce inflammation, and soothe the throat, it has a cold nature. Long-term excessive consumption can easily lead to discomfort in the digestive system, especially for those with poor spleen and stomach function or weak constitution. Therefore, it is not recommended to drink honeysuckle tea for a long time.
Mint itself has a very strong aroma. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients with heat symptoms and excessive sweating caused by yin deficiency. In addition, patients with cough caused by lung deficiency should also avoid taking mint, especially drinking mint tea, to prevent the condition from worsening.
