Speaking of hawthorn lotus leaf tangerine peel tea, I have to talk to you about my family's "ancestral" story first. I remember when I was a child, every summer, my grandmother would always cook a big pot of this tea, saying that it was to relieve the heat and eliminate food. At that time, when I was young, I always felt that this tea was sour and bitter, and I frowned when I took a sip. But when I grew up, I found that what was hidden in this tea was not only my grandmother's craftsmanship, but also her love for us.

The process of making hawthorn lotus leaf tangerine peel tea

Ingredients: dried hawthorn, lotus leaves, chen skin, rock sugar

Steps:

1. Wash the dried hawthorn, lotus leaves, and tangerine peel and put them in a casserole;

20. Add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 0 minutes;

3. Add rock sugar to taste.

Actually, this tea is more than just a drink for me, it's more like a link between the past and the present. When I was a child, I didn't like to eat hawthorn, I always thought it was too sour. But grandma always said, "Sour things are appetizing and good for you." So she made me hawthorn cake and hawthorn sauce in different ways, and boiled this tea for me to drink. Slowly, I got used to the taste of hawthorn.

Later, when I went to college, I was far away from home, and I had to do it myself if I wanted to drink the tea made by my grandmother. At the beginning, I always didn't grasp the proportion, sometimes the hawthorn was too sour, and sometimes the lotus leaves were too tasteless. But after many attempts, I finally found that "just right" balance. Every time I make tea, I think of my grandmother busy in the kitchen, and my heart warms.

Now I have my own little family, and I make this tea for my family every summer. Although it is not as authentic as my grandmother's craftsmanship, I feel very satisfied when I see my family drinking happily.

To be honest, the taste of this tea is really special. The sweetness and sourness of hawthorn, the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the sweetness and bitterness of tangerine peel are intertwined, which quenches thirst and refreshes when drinking. Every time I drank a glass, I felt a lot refreshed.

But what I like the most is the "versatile" attribute of this tea. It can be drunk cold or hot, as a cooling drink in the summer, and as a warming tea in the winter. And it doesn't have a strong taste, which is acceptable even for people who don't like tea very much.

Sometimes I wonder why my grandmother is so fond of this tea. Later, I realized, maybe it's because it's simple but profound. Just like our lives, there are all kinds of ups and downs, but as long as you find that balance, you can taste your own taste.

If you want to try this traditional and innovative drink, why not give it a try? Maybe you will be like me, and find your own little luck in the fragrance of tea.
