Forget-me-not herbal tea is a tea beverage brewed from dried forget-me-not flowers.

Forget-me-not herbal tea is an herbal tea brewed from the dried flowers of the forget-me-not, and it is very common in tea shops and flower tea markets. The dried flowers are mostly blue-purple, though pink and white varieties also exist; once brewed, the liquor is light in color and carries a faint floral fragrance. It is worth noting that the forget-me-not sold for tea is usually the flower of a plant in the genus Limonium (sea lavender), which is not the same plant as the ornamental forget-me-not grown in gardens, so it is a good idea to check the product description when buying.

The brewing method is fairly simple: take a small pinch of dried flowers, put them in a cup, pour in hot water, cover and let steep for a few minutes before drinking. It is also often combined with chrysanthemum, rose, and honeysuckle to make a blended flower tea with a more layered taste. Those who like sweetness can add a small amount of honey for flavor, but the water temperature should not be too high, so as not to affect the aroma and flavor.

Forget-me-not herbal tea has a cool nature and a refreshing taste, and in folk practice it is often drunk in small amounts as an everyday substitute tea. However, it cannot replace medication; pregnant women, people with a cold-weak constitution, and those taking medication should preferably consult a doctor before drinking it. For everyday brewing, the concentration should not be too strong, and long-term heavy consumption is not recommended.

As for storage, dried flowers easily absorb moisture and change color, so they should be put in a sealed jar, kept in a cool, dry, dark place, and consumed within the shelf life as much as possible. If the flowers are found to have darkened in color, developed an off odor, or grown mold spots, they should no longer be brewed.
