Fu Jiang Tea
Overview
Today is the Great Summer Day, which also means the hottest day of the year. As a foodie who loves to eat and considers himself to be a good foodie, Cai Caiwu definitely cannot miss such a good time. When I was a child, my mother would definitely boil a pot of brown sugar and ginger water on this day and drink it while the steam was boiling. It was said that it could expel moisture from the body. After sweating all over, the whole body felt much lighter. Although the truth is unclear, the practical experience passed down by our ancestors cannot be underestimated. Love to eat, love to make, love to live, Cainaiya believes that this is his attitude towards life. There are 365 days in a year and 24 solar terms. Each solar term has its own way of maintaining health. Early in the morning, there are various topics in the circle of friends about avoiding summer heat, how to remove moisture, detoxify, and how to treat winter diseases and summer diseases. Cai Cai Wu is the first to recommend a traditional folk health drink made only in the dog days of summer - fujiang tea. When making fujiang tea, special attention is paid to the weather. On a hot day, choose good old ginger, clean it, dry it thoroughly (no water, otherwise it will go bad easily), cut it into minced ginger, then layer it with brown sugar alternately in a container, and finally place it in the sun. The so-called Fujiang tea is made throughout the entire Futian period, exposed to the sun during the day and harvested at night. It absorbs the essence and energy of the sun and the moon, and has a particularly good effect in repelling cold and warming. The gingerol in fujiang can effectively treat abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. caused by eating too much cold food. After drinking fujiang, the human body feels warm and blood circulation accelerates, which not only takes away excess moisture in the body, but also takes away germs and coldness in the body. Especially suitable for friends who stay in air-conditioned rooms all year round. Drinking Fujiang regularly can warm and protect your health, replenish qi and blood, make people feel good and have a rosy complexion. Especially during those few days of the month for girls, a cup of warm fujiang tea brings not only warmth and health, but also beauty. It is only made once a year, but if you store it well, you can drink it for a year.
