Preparation

Preparation

1. Rinse the Chrysanthemum Flowers

Gently rinse 2 cups of dried chrysanthemum flowers under cold running water to remove any dust or impurities. Set aside in a bowl.

2. Boil the Water

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over high heat.

3. Add Chrysanthemum Flowers

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed chrysanthemum flowers to the pot.

4. Simmer the Tea

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the flowers simmer in the water for about 10 minutes. You should see the water change to a light yellow color.

5. Add Rock Sugar

After simmering, add 1 cup of rock sugar to the pot and stir gently until it dissolves completely.

6. Taste and Adjust

Taste the tea and adjust sweetness, adding honey or more rock sugar if desired. If using, add goji berries and stir.

Serving

7. Serve Hot

Pour the sweet chrysanthemum tea into cups. If desired, add lemon slices for extra flavor. Enjoy the tea warm.

8. Chill Option

For a refreshing iced version, allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice with goji berries and lemon slices.
