  Chrysanthemum tea

Chrysanthemum tea is a flower-based infusion made from chrysanthemum flowers of the species Chrysanthemum morifolium or Chrysanthemum indicum , which are most popular in East Asia . To prepare the tea, chrysanthemum flowers are steeped in hot water (usually 90 to 95 degrees Celsius after cooling from a boil) in either a teapot , cup, or glass; often rock sugar is also added, and occasionally also wolfberries . The resulting drink is transparent and ranges from pale to bright yellow in color, with a floral aroma. In Chinese tradition, once a pot of chrysanthemum tea has been drunk, hot water is typically added again to the flowers in the pot (producing a tea that is slightly less strong); this process is often repeated several times. Chrysanthemum tea was first drunk during the Song Dynasty (960–1279).
