Occasionally, ol’ Dave (I’ve taken to talking about myself in the third person) drinks something from far off lands. Such was the case many years ago with powdered chrysanthemum beverage. Let’s not dwell on the where and when, but it’s been many a year since the day when I first imbibed this, and long have I searched to be able to drink it once again.
And there, one day, while surfing Amazon.com, it was.
This beverage consists of three things: 1) Powdered Chrysanthemum flowers, 2) Honey, and 3) Sugar; just not in that exact order. I bought a bag of 20 packets, which should last the Drinkinator a while.
It’s a heady, sweet nectar, very much in the vein on my beloved sweet tea, except that it’s properly served hot. This is especially good when you have a cold, but don’t wait for that. Any excuse will do. I rank this among the great beverages of the world.
