Honeysuckle and Dried Daylily Flower Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo once spotted a glorious wild sprawl of honeysuckle in the countryside — but he wouldn’t pick it, since even rural areas may be sprayed with insecticide. In traditional kitchens honeysuckle is valued for clearing heat, resolving toxins and dispersing wind-heat, and is associated with easing fever, headache, sore throat and thirst. Because women have a shorter urethra and are more prone to urinary infections, he pairs honeysuckle with daylily flower as a gentle, fragrant tea.
