Chrysanthemum Tea Benefits (and How to Make It)
Description
To make Chrysanthemum Tea, dried petals are placed in a tea bag or strainer to prevent floating bits in the cup. Hot water is poured over the tea and steeped for 3-5 minutes to release flavor. The tea’s delicate floral aroma and persistent taste can be extended by re-steeping the petals multiple times with fresh water.
This tea is typically served hot and enjoyed for its gentle flavor that is both floral and subtly sweet. The use of a tea strainer or bag improves drinking comfort by containing the petals, which can otherwise interfere with sipping.
The dried chrysanthemum petals are strong enough to be steeped throughout the day, allowing multiple brews from the same portion. Serving it in a teapot with an infuser or using reusable tea bags is practical for this purpose.
Ingredients
- 0.2 ounces chrysanthemum tea about 5g, dried
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Place your tea in a teabag or tea strainer of your choice. Due to the nature of this tea, the petals can really get in the way of your drinking experience, so best to tie up the tea in a tea bag or cheesecloth, grab a tea strainer, or use a teapot with a built-in strainer.
- Boil 3 cups water and pour over the tea. Let steep for 3 - 5 minutes. You can continue to add water to the tea for 2-3 more batches of tea. The chrysanthemums have a strong and persistent flavor. Many people can use a single serving of chrysanthemums for the whole day!
