During the Spring Festival, gatherings with friends and family inevitably involve a lot of eating and drinking. Rich foods, meat, pastries, and snacks are all staples, which is why many people experience a poor appetite after the holiday.
For this, experts recommend drinking hawthorn tea. Hawthorn is rich in organic acids, which actively helps to promote food digestion and alleviate indigestion. "When experiencing indigestion, it's common to boil hawthorn in water, adding rock sugar or other sweeteners to taste. However, hawthorn can also be steeped with green tea in hot water. It also has the effect of relieving indigestion and is more convenient for office workers." Place 6-10 grams of hawthorn and 6 grams of green tea in a cup, add boiling water, cover, and steep for six to seven minutes before drinking.
In addition, malt also has the effects of promoting qi, aiding digestion, strengthening the spleen, and stimulating the appetite. Steeping 6 grams of malt with 6 grams of green tea is also an option, suitable for those who dislike or should not consume acidic foods.
