Chrysanthemum Tea with Goji Berries

Busy at work, burning the midnight oil or lack of good eating habits are said to cause the internal “overheating” effect in Chinese medicine. Spending hours in front of screen can also place gradual strain on eyes. The good news is that chrysanthemum tea is a great agent for rebalancing the body and can help reduce eye strain, red eyes and blurry vision.
Chrysanthemum tea is a natural coolant. It helps to cool the body heat, soothe dry mouths and itchy throats, cough and inflammation. Pairing chrysanthemum flowers with goji berries, is a powerful boost to improve our eyes’ health.
With its delicate fragrance and mildly sweet taste, chrysanthemum tea helps to relax and soothe those frazzled nerves. Try inhaling the tea before you drink. You will enjoy the wonderful floral aroma.
For me, both the color and taste of this tea are quite appealing. This easy tea recipe can be served all the year along, at home or in the office! Let’s take a sip!
