Can Hosta flowers be used to make tea?

Can it be eaten directly?

The hosta flower gets its name from its shape which resembles a hairpin. It is a traditional fragrant flower in my country and is deeply loved by people, but it cannot be consumed as tea for a long time. Don't be disappointed, read on:

The whole plant is poisonous

The flowers of the hosta are pure white and fragrant, but there is a subtle fragrance hidden beneath its beautiful appearance. The hosta flower itself is poisonous, and the whole plant is poisonous. Eating it directly can cause certain harm to the body, damage teeth, or even cause teeth to fall out.

Do not drink for a long time

Please pay attention to the words used by the editor. Hosta flowers cannot be used to make tea for a long time, but it is okay once in a while. When you have a sore throat, you can make a cup of it, which will help you a lot.

Can drive away poison

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that hosta can expel poison, but the effect is not particularly obvious. The efficacy of Hosta as a medicine is quite good. Although the whole plant is poisonous, it can be used as medicine to clear away heat, reduce swelling, detoxify and relieve pain. Although it cannot be used as a tea beverage, it is still a good choice to clear away heat occasionally.

Note: When making tea with hosta flowers, it is best to use freshly picked ones and brew them with hot water.
