Prunella, Water Chestnut and Honey Date Tea

Why people make this tea

Prunella is a well-loved, inexpensive herb traditionally associated with clearing “liver fire” and easing congested heat. When liver heat flares up — red, sore eyes, dizziness, or those firm “phlegm-fire” lumps — many home cooks reach for it. Paired with water chestnut and honey dates, it becomes a clear, sweet cooling tea that goes down easily.
