In the scorching summer, it’s time for all the handsome guys and fairies to show off their figures. We have previously launched a series of articles discussing various weight loss meal recipes. Besides weight loss meals, what other dietary adjustments can be made? We can also make various slimming herbal teas, such as the hibiscus rose drink we are going to make today.
The hibiscus rose drink sounds full of fairy spirit. Were the Tang Dynasty’s imperial concubines often drinking this tea (that’s what I initially thought, Lady Wu Zetian, Lady Yang Guifei, and the poetess Yu Xuanji probably drank this tea)? In fact, the introduction of hibiscus flowers into China’s cultivation is a recent development. Previously, hibiscus flowers were widely circulated among the Arab and West African ethnic groups, being a common local beverage.
Hibiscus flower tea has the effect of reducing fat and weight, nurturing the skin, and detoxifying, and there is scientific evidence to support this. The Mexican Social Security Institute Hospital conducted an experiment on 40 patients aged 40 to 62 with cardiovascular diseases such as a history of high blood pressure, smoking addiction, and little exercise. Isn’t this a very typical group – aren’t many of us also similar?
Now let’s learn how to make this
recipe:
1. Place hibiscus flowers and rose petals in a tea filter, pour in a small amount of hot water, and rinse off surface dust. (This is the dried hibiscus flower, friends, never judge a book by its cover. Three-body aliens look withered when sleeping but can invade Earth when awake.)
2. Pour in hot water, let it steep for 5 minutes. (During this process, friends, copy the Heart Sutra, chant Hallelujah, etc., to add a sense of ritual to tea drinking)
Then you can enjoy it, sounds easy, right? Although simple, the effect is real. This tea that can promote metabolism can help you lose 3 kilograms in just three months. Hibiscus flower tea also has the benefits of promoting blood circulation, blood nourishment, and as wise as you are, you would know that this is also a beauty tea, regularly drinking it will improve your complexion.
However, this hibiscus rose drink also has some taboos. Hibiscus flowers have a cooling nature, so people with cold constitutions or spleen and stomach deficiencies are not suitable for long-term consumption. Prolonged consumption can cause diarrhea, and women should also avoid drinking it during their menstrual period.
This hibiscus rose drink not only has the effect of weight loss, fat reduction, and beauty enhancement, but also produces stunning effects. If you make a goji berry tea like the old party members, most handsome guys and beautiful ladies probably would avoid it. But this rose drink looks colorful, has a high aesthetic value, coupled with the well-known hibiscus flower (imported hibiscus flower tea costs 500-1000 yuan per kilogram, domestically produced ones also require a considerable price) and the rose symbolizing love, drinking it will give you a sense of a high-class person’s ritual or a transcendent fairy style.
