There is nothing more satisfying and enjoyable than the fresh taste. Make a pot of this strong aroma and refreshing beau tea to call it a day for my evening after stressful work.

As I planted some organic Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) and it is one healthy plant also claimed to have various medicinal values. Its high contents of vitamin C and anthocyanins, Roselle is associated with traditional medicine and is reported to be used as treatment for several diseases such as hypertension and urinary tract infections.

This recipe contains of Chrysanthemum is well known for cooling the body, neutralizing toxins, and protecting the liver. Add some Goji berries and its benefits – protect the liver, help eyesight, improve sexual function and fertility, boost immune function, improve circulation and promote longevity, optionally I do add some Rose petal as it is claims to be good for slimming, reduce menstrual cramps, and reduce stomach blotting, good for digestion.

Chinese Hawthorn (Shan Zha) is well known as for cardiac benefits. Many of the active Constituents found in Hawthorn exhibit potent antioxidant properties. Similarly it's good for lower cholesterol level especially for a person who wants to slim down naturally.

1. Put all the ingredients into a pot and bring to boil for 20 minutes.

2. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour In a teapot, add the rock sugar.

During Menstruation I used black sugar instead of rock sugar.
