Wanted to share this supermarket variety chilled and cooling chrysanthemum tea. This chrysanthemum tea is VERY cooling to the body, even menopausal women use it for hot flushes and one review I read said the woman in question got a lot of relief from just drinking chrysanthemum tea because it totally cooled her down.
I first read about this tea in a book by a TCM practitioner. Unlike soft drinks that are really dehydrating in hot weather this tea will make you feel soooo lovely and cool. I noticed in years gone by they don't seem to stock it anymore at supermarkets. They may however in some places. Quite possibly on Amazon. Its called Yeo's brand but you can get it from any Asian supermarket generally. Keep it in your fridge to quench your thirst and stay away from dehydrating soft drinks. I was told westerners have no idea how to keep cool so I gave up carbonated drinks
Here is a picture of what it looks like and how its sold. Sometimes it comes in tetra packs but you'll know it when you see it. Check for allergies. Have read if you are allergic to ragweed or daisies you should not have it.
I just bought some loose chrysanthemum tea and will make several cups and add a sugar substitute and chill in the fridge in a jug for hot days. The flowers seem to break apart easily so you really need to put them in a tea ball.
Anyway here's the tea.
