About the Recipe

Osmanthus, also known as sweet osmanthus or fragrant olive, offers a delightful blend of floral and fruity notes to any beverage. It also has the following health benefits:

Reduces Oxidative Stress: Osmanthus flowers have antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress in animals. Additionally, osmanthus tea has a mild sedative effect, promoting relaxation and improved brain function 1.
Reduces Phlegm and Stasis: Studies indicate that osmanthus can reduce phlegm and stasis in animals. Stasis refers to the slowdown or stoppage of blood and other body fluids 1.
May Treat Allergies: Osmanthus tea contains anti-allergic agents, which can help reduce throat congestion and mucus caused by inflamed lungs.
Detoxifying Effect: Osmanthus flower tea supports kidney and liver health by eliminating toxins. In Chinese medicine, it acts as a potent cleansing agent for these organs and the endocrine system.
Combats Free Radicals: Rich in phenolic acid, osmanthus fights free radicals that contribute to cataracts, cell damage, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases.
Prevents Bad Breath: Use osmanthus tea as a morning mouthwash to keep bad breath at bay.
Suppresses Appetite: Inhaling the aroma of osmanthus tea may curb appetite. The fragrance decreases appetite-stimulating brain chemicals while increasing appetite-suppressing ones, potentially aiding weight loss 1.
Protects Insulin-Producing Cells: Osmanthus flowers contain vitamin B3 (niacinamide), which has additional benefits such as maintaining healthy skin cells and protecting against sun damage 2.
