Blanch the lotus seeds, lily bulbs, and goji berries and add them to the clay pot. Add an appropriate amount of clear water and stock, bring to a boil, add Pu'er tea, cover, and steam in a steamer until done.
4. Quail and Duck Tea Soup
Ingredients:
5g Pu'er tea leaves, 1 quail, 1 old duck, appropriate amount of ginger and seasonings.

Steep the Pu'er tea leaves in boiling water several times to obtain the tea infusion. Pluck and clean the quail and old duck. Place them in a pot with the tea infusion and ginger.

First, peel and slice the apple. Then, cook the brewed Pu'er tea with the apple for 2 minutes. Pour the lemon juice into the cooked Pu'er apple soup (add honey or ice according to personal preference). A "Pu'er C+C" for preventing constipation is ready.
6. Pu'er Honey Pomelo Tea

7. Pu'er Melon Melon Encounter
Ingredients:
10g Pu'er tea leaves, 20g papaya, 20g cantaloupe.

The fresh fragrance of the papaya, the sweet mellowness of the cantaloupe, and the aroma of the Pu'er tea blend together. It's truly wonderful, both in color and taste!
