There are too many plants that can make tea from local materials. Every spring, when the weather is just warm and the leaves of bitter vegetables have not yet grown, rural women begin to dig the roots of vegetables. At this time, the roots of sowthistle in early spring are fresh and tender, and there are no old roots that can't be bitten in the middle.
In addition to cleaning and soaking, this bitter herbal tea is to cut the roots into pieces and fry them in an oil-free iron pan or electric baking pan. This bitter herbal tea has the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire. The tea is particularly fragrant and the brewed color is also very beautiful.
When the wild vegetables begin to grow in a few days, there are many plants that can make tea. There are dandelions in wild vegetables. When we soak in dandelion tea, we usually separate the leaves from the roots, one for the leaves and the other for the roots. Dandelion tea is almost a woman's patent in the countryside. Many rural women will make dandelion into tea and throw a jujube or two into it when making tea. It is said that the prevention and care of female gynecology is more effective.
Mulberry buds are also the best material for making tea, but they must be buds. We have a little brother in our local mulberry field. Mulberry trees were originally planted to pick mulberries, but many friends asked him to make tea and everyone bought it. It's delicious.
Honeysuckle in our mountain is a kind of tea with medicinal effect. In spring, the bones of honeysuckle are picked, and one is as thick as a toothpick. It takes a lot to dry honeysuckle tea. Unlike other plants, honeysuckle tea can't be fried, but must be dried.
There are also some herbal roots in the mountains, which farmers also use to make tea. It is said that they can enhance physical fitness and eliminate all kinds of inflammation.
There are also long seeds of Sophora japonica, which can also be used to stir-fry tea. This kind of tea helps to lower blood pressure. In short, many plants can be found anywhere in the countryside. As long as you can eat wild vegetables and leaves, you can basically make tea.
