Chrysanthemum Licorice Green Tea

Why people make this tea

During the Lunar New Year season, when visiting family and friends is at its peak, staying well takes a bit of extra effort. Nourilo likes to recommend this refreshing three-ingredient tea for people with a slightly warmer constitution — those who tend to feel warm, have a red tongue, or get thirsty easily. Chrysanthemum has long been treasured in Chinese food therapy for its ability to gently release surface heat and support clear, bright eyes. Licorice harmonizes the other ingredients and offers mild soothing qualities, while green tea rounds out the blend with its well-studied antioxidant properties. The result is an elegant, lightly fragrant infusion you can brew and re-brew multiple times.
