However, do parents need to pay attention? Although cold drinks can bring temporary coolness, they actually use low temperature to offset the body's heat. After that, it will make the body feel more sultry. Moreover, children's spleen and stomach are weak, and excessive intake of cold drinks and ice cream may damage their spleen-yang health and may also lead to intestinal diseases such as vomiting and diarrhea.
So I recommend six kinds of home-made teas to parents, which can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, and are very healthy and convenient, suitable for 1-6-year-old babies! Let me introduce them one by one:
1. Juncus officinalis tea-reducing dryness and removing fire
This kind of tea is particularly light and palatable, and can be drunk directly as water. Even if you drink it at room temperature, you will feel particularly cool. A touch of sweetness can trick children into drinking two more glasses of water. After cooking, lotus seeds and candied dates can be eaten, and it is not bad to be a snack!
Required ingredients: Juncus Juncus 10g, Polygonatum odoratum 7g, Lotus seed 10g, Ophiopogon japonicus 10g, and 2 candied dates.
Production method: soak lotus seeds for 20 minutes in advance, then wash other ingredients and put them in a stew pot with lotus seeds. Add the right amount of water, and the water should not exceed the ingredients. After boiling for 30 minutes, you can take it out of the pot and let it cool.
? 2. Wu Mei Maidong Tea-Shengjin to quench thirst
Mume Maidong tea tastes like sour plum soup! Sour plum soup is cool to relieve summer heat, but it tastes too strong for children. This tea combines the taste and lightness of sour plum soup, and it is my children's favorite summer tea! After drinking, you should also fish out the ebony and eat it. Note that the ebony is nucleated, and too young babies can't eat it.
Required ingredients: 3 pieces of ebony, Ophiopogon japonicus 10g, 5g of dried tangerine peel, and appropriate amount of rock sugar.
Production method: Wash the ingredients, put them into a health pot, add water and cook for 20 minutes. Add appropriate amount of rock sugar before cooking and drink after cooling. ?
3. Hu Aishan malt poria tea-digestion and accumulation
It's easy to digest in summer. The baby said he had a stomachache, so I'll make this tea for him. Hu Aishan Wolfberry Poria cocos is a digestive aid material, and it's all ingredients, so it's very healthy and safe for babies to eat.
The required ingredients: rice bud 15g, malt 10g, Poria cocos 10g, yam 7g, candied dates 1.
Production method: Wash the ingredients, put them into a health pot, add 500 ml of water, bring them to a boil with high fire, and then turn to low heat for 30 minutes. Then let it cool out and enjoy it!
4.？ Fig and apple tea-moistening dryness and relaxing bowels
Babies who don't like apples can try this. Ripe apples become soft and sweet, which is very palatable. Babies will like to eat them. At the same time, this kind of tea also has the effect of moistening dryness and relaxing bowels. It is also suitable for babies who don't like vegetables, and helps them to pull out the perfect poop!
Required ingredients: fig 1, apple 1, Ophiopogon japonicus 9g, Poria 9g.
Production method: cut the apple into small pieces, wash all the ingredients, put them together in a stew pot, add enough water, boil over high fire and turn to low heat 1 hour. Finally, take it out of the pot and let it cool.
? 5.？ Sweet corn silk tea-diuretic detumescence
Sometimes babies go out to eat with adults, and it is easy to get edema the next day, because the salt content in the outside diet is too high, and it is difficult for the baby to metabolize. At this time, you can cook licorice, tangerine peel and corn silk tea for your baby, which is light and palatable. Help your baby metabolize excess salt in the body, and always want to go to the toilet after drinking!
Required ingredients: 3g of licorice, 2g of dried tangerine peel and 5g of corn stigma.
Production method: Wash the ingredients, put them into a health pot, add water, bring them to a boil with high fire, and turn to low heat for 20 minutes. Finally, take it out of the pot and let it cool.
I hope these homemade teas can help mothers cool down in summer and meet their children's taste needs. Remember to let children drink alcohol in moderation and pay attention to protecting their spleen and stomach health!
