After entering the autumn, the weather becomes dry, people are also prone to fire, you can choose some seasonal health drinks to clear the heat and reduce the fire, moisturize the lungs and prevent dryness. Now I recommend a very suitable health tea for autumn drinking - honey grapefruit tea.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Honey has five functions: clearing heat, toning, detoxification, moisturizing, and pain relief. "Modern medicine has found that honey is effective in the prevention and treatment of neurasthenia, hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis, lung disease and so on. Often taking honey in autumn can play a role in moisturizing the lungs and nourishing the lungs, which is not only conducive to the prevention and treatment of these diseases, but also prevents the harm of autumn dryness to the human body, so that people can live a long and healthy life. Yuzu is also recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Remove the evil qi in the stomach and intestines, detoxify alcohol, cure the breath of drinking, do not think about eating lightly, dissolve phlegm and cough." "The specific approach is:
Ingredients 500 grams of grapefruit (with belt), 100 grams of rock sugar, 250 grams of honey (it is best to choose acacia nectar and other mildly flavored honey, osmanthus nectar is not recommended).
To do this, soak the grapefruit in hot water for about 5 minutes and wash and dry. With a knife, scrape off the outermost layer of yellow-green skin thinly. Cut the grapefruit peel into thin strips, the finer the better, then salt for a short while. Peel off the pulp, remove the pit and thin skin, and crush with a spoon. Add a bowl of water to a clean pot and add a bowl of water to a clean pot, cook on high heat until the pot is boiled to a low heat, simmer until it is viscous, and the grapefruit skin is golden and translucent. Let the viscous yuzu soup cool down, add honey and stir well, put it in the prepared empty bottle, and refrigerate for about a week.
It should be noted that people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea should not drink honey grapefruit tea. Dryness is the main qi of autumn, and the lungs are easily injured by dryness. You can eat more soft, watery foods such as sesame seeds, honey, and fruits, and eat less irritating foods to replenish lung dryness.
