Step 1
Buy chrysanthemum tea online or at a store selling herbal supplements and teas. A box of 20 tea bags will run you about $6.

Step 2
Steep one to two tea bags in hot water for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and drink the tea hot. Drink two to four tea bags every day to relieve allergies.
-
Step 3
Refrigerate the hot tea until it's cold to make iced chrysanthemum tea. During allergy season, keep a pitcher of it handy in the fridge.
-
Step 4
Make an herbal infusion by putting four to five flower heads into hot water. Steep the leaves for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove leaves when the drink turns light yellow. Drink hot or refrigerate for iced tea.
-
Step 5
Add sugar or honey to chrysanthemum tea to enhance the taste if needed.
-
Step 6
Allow dried chrysanthemum flowers to cool. Place them over your eyes to relieve the itching caused by allergies. Put extra flower heads in the refrigerator for future use.
-
Step 7
Use cool chrysanthemum tea bags in the same way. Hold them on your eyes for about 10 minutes to provide allergic relief.
