Fresh osmanthus flowers can be washed and brewed directly.
Fresh osmanthus flowers can be washed and brewed directly, but fresh osmanthus flowers have a high water content, the taste of the tea brewed and the taste of the dried osmanthus flowers brewed will still have some differences. Dried osmanthus flowers to keep the flavor well, it is recommended to use induction cooker drying or use food desiccant to dry.
Now the formal osmanthus is about to open, how to eat osmanthus, preserving the flavor of osmanthus is also more appropriate. The fragrance of osmanthus goes well with many cuisines, and it's great to garnish some ingredients with osmanthus.

A lot of sweet food inside plus a little, or quite good.
Osmanthus rice wine is also my favorite, the practice is also quite simple. First of all, wash the glutinous rice, soak until soft, and then steamed to eight mature, cooled to body temperature, mixed into the cinnamon and liquor, rice compaction, hollowed out a small mouth in the middle. Seal and cover the fermentation, keep the temperature at about 25-30, and when the liquid is not over the surface of the rice, the rice wine will start to come out.
Cinnamon has the power to dissolve phlegm and dissipate blood stasis, and the mu rhinoceros flower recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica refers to cinnamon. Osmanthus tea is also one of the main types of tea in China, is a member of the flower tea, but now the osmanthus tea has not been as pure as before , osmanthus tea in addition to talk back, but also tea, some osmanthus tea production process is more cumbersome and complex, you want to drink osmanthus tea, you can simply bubble water and drink?
The answer is yes, now many tea stores sell dried osmanthus.
Dried osmanthus can make tea, fresh osmanthus? The old evil to talk about this issue.
Every autumn, our village osmanthus tree on the lively, the village people to the tree pulling the branches of the "gold" activities, is to pick osmanthus. Our side of the treatment of osmanthus is simple and brutal, take home to make a pastry, some are used to make tea, you have the patience if you can dry and then bubble, Otherwise, directly with the fresh to soak it.
Cinnamon tea has the power to dissolve phlegm, phlegm drink tide cough people suitable to drink, at the same time it can disperse blood stasis, which can regulate menstruation, because the presence of blood stasis may lead to menstrual closure abdominal pain.

But the flavor is really different, although the aroma is almost the same, but the freshly picked osmanthus is always more bitter than the dry products out of the tea, after the sun tastes better.
I've brewed dried osmanthus before, but the aroma wasn't enough, and that's when I realized that my handling was a bit off, I'd sunburned it too much, and the flavor wasn't as good as the fresh product. Later I concluded that the experience is, to choose just a little bit of osmanthus, when the flowers have not attracted bee insects, the flavor is more pure, with the plucked osmanthus tea, should not be left too long, otherwise the aroma will be lost, and so on the water from the boiling state, back to eighty-ninety degrees, you can start to bubble.
The tea brewed in this way is relatively more fragrant, reflecting the characteristics of osmanthus.
Although osmanthus tea is beneficial to the human body, relatively speaking, dry products out of the tea is more favored, now picked osmanthus you want to ensure that the quality is good and the flavor is pure, so that will make osmanthus tea better. Now the osmanthus tea, there are osmanthus and tea mixed together, it is to make up for the shortcomings, improve the flavor, you can try to do so, the old evil will be introduced so much, you have drunk osmanthus tea?
