My mother-in-law bought some purple roses (country of origin: France) and apple flowers from a medical hall in Chinatown and she brought some for us today.
After reading up on these flowers, here’s what I have gathered:
Health benefits of consuming purple rose tea:
- the roses are rich in vitamin A, B, C, E, K and tannic acid
- calms and relieves stress
- eliminates fatigue
- promotes blood circulation
- aids in detox
- it’s great for the skin (anti-wrinkle!)
- leads to general good health
Regular consumption of purple rose tea will regulate menstruation and lead to rosy, radiant skin.
Apple flowers with purple roses make a great combination and they have great health benefits as well:
- prevents hypertension
- nourishes the blood (补血)
- relieves neuralgia (舒解神经痛)
- detox
- whitens skin
- alleviates depression
Regular consumption of apple flower tea can solve acne problems and alleviate menstrual cramps.
Such a nourishing drink for the body yet so easy to make!
- 1 handful of purple roses and apple flowers (mixed 1:1)
- 1.5L water
- Rinse the flowers with room temperature water.
- Bring the water to a boil in a pot.
- Turn off the heat and place the flowers into the water.
- Let it steep for 10min or longer before consuming.
