1. kumquat lemon cold drink
2. Bamboo cane root horseshoe water
3. Lemon wax gourd dew
4. Lemon mint cucumber water
Kumquat lemon herbal tea and lemon mint cucumber are both "cold brewed" drinks, which are particularly simple to make. Just put all the ingredients into the cup, add cold water/tea, and then refrigerate.
The practice of "cold brewing" comes from cold brewing tea. The so-called cold tea making is to soak the tea leaves in cold water and then put them in the refrigerator for 8- 12 hours.
The bitter taste of tea comes from theophylline, which is not easy to release in cold water, so herbal tea is not only not bitter, but also lighter in taste and richer in fragrance. When making herbal tea, the amount of tea/tea bag is more than that of hot water.

The thick caramel fragrance of winter melon tea is addictive. When the winter melon tea is cooked, the smell of My Sweetie wafts all over the room ~ and the winter melon tea brick is made of winter melon, yellow sugar and brown sugar. I still remember when I was a child, the tea brick that my grandmother cooked me winter melon tea was really as big as a brick, and the hardness was similar to that of a brick ... At that time, my grandmother smashed the tea brick with a hammer and then cooked it in a pot. This is really a sweet and strong drink.
Wax gourd itself has the effect of clearing heat and drying dampness. Lemon juice is added to winter melon tea to neutralize the sweet and greasy feeling, which increases the fragrance and coolness.
