Cordyceps sinensis, also known as caterpillar fungus, has higher nutritional content than ginseng. It can be used as medicine or food and has high nutritional value. Cordyceps sinensis can enhance the body's immunity and has a significant inhibitory effect on lung cancer, liver cancer, etc. So how can you drink tea made with Cordyceps sinensis?

Cordyceps should be boiled in water before drinking. The correct way to boil cordyceps is to add about one cup of water to the cordyceps and cook over low heat for ten minutes. Then pour out the water and drink it immediately. Then add more water and cook for another ten minutes. After pouring it out and drinking it, add more water and cook again. Repeat this process until the water boiled from the cordyceps becomes lighter.

The taste of stewed Cordyceps sinensis is very mellow and fragrant. It is best to stew Cordyceps sinensis with meat. Generally, it is best to stew Cordyceps sinensis for half an hour. According to folklore, in 1764, Emperor Qianlong, who was 53 years old, suffered from dizziness and back pain. He tried all the medicines prescribed by the imperial physicians, but felt no improvement. One day, he happened to tell his favorite minister Heshen about his health condition. Heshen certainly would not miss this opportunity to please Qianlong, so he introduced a folk doctor who was on good terms with him to Qianlong. After checking Emperor Qianlong's pulse, the doctor prescribed the following medicine: cordyceps sinensis, wolfberry, yam, and black chicken. Qianlong took the medicine continuously as instructed. A year later, Qianlong's health recovered. Not only did the uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness and back pain disappear without a trace, but he also felt much more energetic. Qianlong was very surprised and asked the doctor why he solved the imperial doctors' problem with just three medicines. The doctor said that the credit should go to the Cordyceps sinensis collected from Tibet, a wild delicacy that combines health preservation, healthcare and treatment. It not only nourishes the kidneys, but also delays aging if taken for a long time.

From this we can see that Cordyceps sinensis is not suitable for making tea. If you want convenience, you can boil the water and drink it, or buy the prepared medicine at the pharmacy. Don't fail to make full use of its effectiveness just for the sake of convenience. Knowing more about its consumption methods, I believe that next time someone asks me how to drink Cordyceps tea, I will be able to answer fluently.
