Instructions
- 1
Quickly rinse 8g of dried chrysanthemum flowers under cold running water to remove any surface dust or impurities, then gently shake off excess moisture before starting the brew.
- 2
Combine 600ml of water and 2 jujubes in a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 5 minutes on medium to extract natural sweetness.
- 3
Reduce heat to the lowest setting, then add the rinsed chrysanthemum and 1 tbsp of goji berries and stir gently.
- 4
Steep for exactly 3 minutes to capture the fragrant floral flavor, then immediately turn off the heat to prevent any bitterness from developing due to overcooking the petals.

Strain the tea through a fine sieve into cups, then stir in 1 tbsp of honey and 1 tsp of lemon juice to create a perfect harmony of refreshing acidity.

Serve in preheated cups to maintain the ideal drinking temperature for as long as possible, and garnish with sliced jujube pieces to enhance the visual presentation.
