Frangipani Tea
In the morning, I took a stroll with my son in the park and saw the frangipani trees in full bloom. The strong wind had blown the intact flowers onto the ground, looking beautiful.
This flower is very common in Hong Kong. It has only five petals, no stamens, and a rich fragrance, often used in perfumes.
Different varieties of frangipani trees have different colored flowers, but because the most common ones are milky white on the outside and bright yellow in the center, they are called "雞蛋花" (egg flower) or "蛋黃花" (egg yolk flower).
Frangipani, originally named Plumeria, is a symbol of tropical regions. The leis in Hawaii are often made of frangipani, and frangipani decorations are ubiquitous when traveling to Bali. It is also one of the five trees and six flowers of Buddhism.
Frangipani is also a common ingredient for tea, and it is one of the "five flowers" in the Five Flower Tea, which is used to cool down in summer. Frangipani tastes sweet, is cool in nature, and enters the lung and large intestine meridians; it can clear heat and relieve summer heat, moisten the lungs and detoxify, promote diuresis, stop coughing, improve indigestion, and treat infantile malnutrition.
To prepare, simply take 5 grams of dried frangipani, wash it, put it into a thermos, add hot water, and steep for 10 minutes before drinking. You can also add a piece of dried tangerine peel to make tea, which can clear heat and dampness, especially suitable for people with damp-heat phlegm.
Although frangipani has medicinal value, it is not recommended to pick it yourself, as the branches and leaves of the frangipani tree are poisonous. Touching them can easily cause allergies, or even symptoms of poisoning such as nausea and diarrhea. Note: It is not suitable for people with lung cold cough, deficiency-cold common cold, easy diarrhea, women during menstruation, and pregnant women.
