Weight loss herbal tea is somewhat similar to medicinal formulas, differing mainly in dosage. Medicinal formulas are prescribed based on individual constitution and obesity condition, hence the dosage is higher.

2. Add a few drops of water to a pan, add the coix seeds, and stir-fry over medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Initially, steam will be produced. When the steam stops, add the buckwheat grains. Continue stir-frying and reduce to low-medium heat. Raw buckwheat grains are greenish-yellow. Fry until the buckwheat turns dark brown and the coix seeds turn light yellow, then turn off the heat.

3. When slight smoke appears, pay close attention. As buckwheat grains are small and heat up quickly, prevent burning. When you can smell a nutty aroma, it's about ready to turn off the heat. Coix seeds are harder to judge. According to standard preparation, they should turn slightly yellow; a few scorch spots are acceptable. For a slightly raw taste, fry until yellow without scorch spots.

4. Put the fried coix seed and buckwheat tea into a cup, pour in boiling water. If more buckwheat is used, it will show a nice bright yellow color. It can be steeped all day.
