Speaking of Camellia oleifera, I have to mention Camellia oleifera from Gongcheng. Gongcheng Camellia is a famous specialty snack in Guilin and even Guangxi. Gongcheng is a gathering place for the Yao nationality, and there are many longevity people. The Yao people like to drink camellia, you can drink it with three meals a day. Friends in Gongcheng say camellia is their longevity water. It has a history of more than a thousand years. . Gongcheng Camellia scented, with both tea and ginger. The essence of Gongcheng Camellia is tea and ginger. Tea and ginger are made into camellia water, which can remove dampness and drive away cold, regulate the intestines and stomach, and have the effect of losing weight. It is no wonder that friends from Gongcheng do not get fat no matter how they eat.
The traditional Gongcheng Camellia is made by tapping. While heating the tea in a small cast iron pot, tap it with a 7-shaped wooden hammer until the tea sticks into the pot. Add cooking oil and tap until the essence of the tea leaves, and then add water to boil it. , Use a small dustpan made of bamboo strips to filter out the tea residues, and the oil tea water is ready. Because I am not from Gongcheng, I made oil tea once occasionally and I didn't buy special tools for oil tea. My friend told me that to make camellia at home, you can use a heated wall breaker or a soymilk machine to make it. The taste is no worse than hand-made camellia.
