Instructions

Step 1

Drink chrysanthemum tea on a regular basis for the best health benefits. It isn't a Western medicine, so there's no limit on how much you can drink.
Step 2

Get chrysanthemum tea bags at herbal or natural food stores. A box of 20 tea bags will cost about $6.
Step 3

Steep tea bags in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Drink several cups a day to strengthen your lungs.
Step 4

Make an herbal infusion by steeping four to five flower buds in hot water for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove them once the water turns yellowish in color.
Step 5

Add sugar or honey to the tea to improve the taste, if needed. Serve tea and herbal infusion hot or refrigerate it until cold.
