Dried longan can be made into tea with chrysanthemums. Dried longan is more nutritious and can easily cause internal heat if eaten too much, while chrysanthemum has the effect of clearing away heat. If dried longan and chrysanthemum are soaked together, it not only has a refreshing fragrance, but also does not easily cause internal heat after drinking it. Eating too much dried longan will cause internal heat, and drinking too much water soaked in dried longan will do the same. The difference between eating dried longan directly and soaking dried longan is that soaking it in water is equivalent to diluting the concentration of dried longan due to the presence of water. Generally speaking, drinking it in water is less likely to cause internal heat than eating it directly. But you should also pay attention to the amount you drink. Drinking too much is not good. Just soak 3-5 pieces of dried longan in water at a time.
