Warmth and Cold Prevention

Ginger jujube and tangerine peel tea is simple to make, requiring only ginger, jujube, tangerine peel, and green tea steeped together in boiling water. If you catch a chill, you can brew and drink it at any time. For more severe cold symptoms, such as nasal congestion and coughing, cassia twig, apricot kernel, and tangerine peel tea can be used. Combine cassia twig, apricot kernel, tangerine peel, ginger, jujube, and green tea, then steep in boiling water.

Heatiness Relief

Most Southerners prefer gathering around a hotpot in the cold winter. While enjoyable, hotpot meals can easily cause heatiness. Since green tea is unfermented, it is best for reducing heatiness, quenching thirst, and lowering blood lipids while preventing vascular hardening. Thus, it is suitable for those prone to heatiness.

White fungus tea also nourishes the lungs and relieves coughs. First, stew white fungus with water and rock sugar until tender, then steep tea leaves for five minutes. Finally, mix the tea infusion with the white fungus soup and consume.

Flu Prevention

Red tea is mild in nature, making it the top choice for winter tea. Rich in protein and sugar, it enhances the body's cold resistance. Gargling with or drinking red tea regularly can also help prevent the flu, which is essential in winter. Enjoying a warm cup of red tea not only warms the body but also aids in flu prevention.
