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.

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.
