Tips:
According to local old people, when making herbal tea, it is best to put a piece of sugar after turning off the heat, so that "wind" and "heating" will not enter. I don't know if there is any basis, but it does not interfere with the taste of the tea, so, It is usually put out after the flame is turned off.
