Lotus leaf tea, called Hé Yè (荷叶) in Chinese, yeonnip-cha (연잎차) in Korean, is a tea made from young leaves of the lotus. Leaves for lotus tea are often heat-treated (either by steaming or roasting) before being dried. Sometimes, fresh leaves are also infused as tea. 6–12 g of dried leaves or 15–20 g of fresh leaves are simmered in 600 ml of water over low heat to produce two to three cups tea.This slightly bitter leaf has a lot of health benefits, but its main properties are related to helping your liver and spleen detox and remain healthy.
