[0002] As a healthy tea substitute (tea substitute), Huangjing Substitute Tea has a light, sweet taste and is loved by the general public. Huangjing Substitute Tea is mainly made of Huangjing, Codonopsis, and Gastrodia, which has the function of medicine and food, and conforms to the current drinking habits of people.
[0003] Huangjing substitute tea has a good conditioning effect on people with sub-health discomfort, and it also has a protective effect on people who smoke and drink for a long time. The polyphenols and antioxidant compounds in Huangjing substitute tea can neutralize free radicals in people's bodies, thereby reducing the damage of harmful substances to the body, which can effectively improve people's body resistance. In addition, the natural active substances in Huangjing substitute tea can also effectively promote digestion and absorption, and improve problems such as indigestion. In short, Huangjing substitute tea is a very healthy substitute tea that is very beneficial to health.
[0004] At present, although the use of Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea has been effective, there are still some problems that need to be solved:
[0005] 1) The problem of raw materials of polygonatum: The raw materials of polygonatum substitute tea like moist and cool growing environment and loose and breathable slightly acidic soil. They mostly grow under the forest with more humus and moist, sunny shrubs and grass slopes. Therefore, when selecting raw materials of polygonatum, it is necessary to strictly control the quality to prevent the situation of inferior products being sold as good ones in the market, such as using poor quality polygonatum or improperly processed polygonatum to make polygonatum substitute tea.
[0006] 2) Polygonatum is susceptible to pests and diseases: In the process of cultivating mushroom materials or planting Polygonatum, once the mushroom sticks infected with foreign bacteria are found, they must be removed in time. At the same time, in the rainy season, drainage ditches should be dug in time around the planting of Polygonatum to prevent the mushroom bed from being waterlogged, otherwise excessive water will easily breed pests and cause rotten Polygonatum buds.
[0007] 3) Low acceptance: Although many people think that Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea is delicious, some people may still not like the taste of Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea. In view of this situation, it is necessary to improve the medicine and food formula and add Codonopsis pilosula and Gastrodia elata as ingredients to improve the taste, so as to increase people's acceptance of Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea.
[0008] 4) Improve storage quality: Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea may be affected by storage conditions, such as humidity, temperature and other factors, which may lead to deterioration or loss of active ingredients. Therefore, it is necessary to study appropriate packaging and storage methods to extend the shelf life of Polygonatum odoratum substitute tea and ensure quality stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] The present invention provides a method for producing a polygonatum substitute tea, comprising the following steps:
[0038] Step 1: Clean the selected polygonatum and steam it twice and dry it once (the first steaming: put the polygonatum in a wooden bamboo steamer and steam it with firewood. Since the sizes of polygonatum vary, the steaming time is generally controlled at 3 to 4 hours. Leave the steamed polygonatum in the pot for about 30 minutes before taking it out to dry; the first drying: take out the polygonatum that has been steamed for the first time and put it in a dustpan to dry. Note that during the drying process, it needs to be turned over constantly, because the polygonatum is thick, and turning it over can make the polygonatum absorb sunlight better. After drying the polygonatum for a day, it can be clearly observed that the color, shape, and smell of the polygonatum have changed significantly, and then the second steaming and drying process can be carried out. The second steaming: continue to put the polygonatum in a wooden bamboo steamer and steam it with firewood. When the polygonatum is fully cooked, take it out in time and put it in a dustpan to cool. Note that you should wear thick gloves when taking out the polygonatum, because the steam is very large and it is easy to hurt your hands and arms). Finally, cut the polygonatum that has been steamed twice and dried into shreds.
[0039] Step 2. Process the cleaned Codonopsis pilosula (1. Softening: Steam the cleaned Codonopsis pilosula in a steamer for 15 to 20 minutes or scald it in boiling water for 3 to 6 minutes to soften it. 2. First rubbing (manual): Put on gloves and rub the softened Codonopsis pilosula while it is still hot. You can put the Codonopsis pilosula on a clean wooden board, hold one end of the Codonopsis pilosula with your hand, and then gently rub it along the fiber direction of the Codonopsis pilosula, just like rubbing a rope at ordinary times. The force should be moderate at the beginning. As the flexibility of the Codonopsis pilosula increases, the force can be appropriately increased. 3. Second rubbing (manual): After repeated second rubbing, it can be obviously observed that the Codonopsis pilosula gradually becomes softer and looks tighter in appearance. The second rubbing process is repeated to better squeeze out the moisture inside the Codonopsis pilosula, and at the same time make the skin and flesh of the Codonopsis pilosula more closely connected, which has It is conducive to subsequent drying. 4. Drying: Place the rubbed Codonopsis in a well-ventilated and sunny place to dry. It is generally recommended to dry in the sun, but due to the uncertainty of the weather, if it is rainy, you can use drying equipment (note that the temperature must be controlled at 40-50°C) until the Codonopsis is completely dry), and then cut into shreds (hold the Codonopsis with your hand, and hold the knife at a certain angle to the Codonopsis, usually tilted 30-45 degrees, and cut into slices of uniform thickness, about 1-2 mm thick, and finally stack the slices, align the width neatly, and then use a knife to cut the stacked slices into shreds. The width of the shreds is generally 1-3 mm). Note that during the shredding process, if the Codonopsis is long, you can first cut it into several sections, and the length of each section should be controlled to facilitate the subsequent shredding operation.
[0040] Step 3, 1. Wash the selected Gastrodia elata and steam it (live Gastrodia elata is usually steamed in a steamer for about 1 hour before being removed from the pot), then cut it into shreds. 2. If you choose dried Gastrodia elata, you need to soak it in drinking water first, soak the dried Gastrodia elata in warm water for about 30 to 80 minutes, and repeat the same operation as the live Gastrodia elata after it softens. 3. Put the steamed Gastrodia elata on the chopping board. If the Gastrodia elata is too large, you can cut it in half first to facilitate subsequent shredding. Use a sharp knife to cut the Gastrodia elata into thin slices of uniform thickness, and pay attention to the thickness of 1 to 2 mm. Finally, stack the slices neatly like stacking cards, and then cut them into thin shreds with a knife, the width of which is generally 1 to 3 mm.
[0041] Step 4. Mix the shredded Polygonatum (5000g), Codonopsis pilosula (3000g), and Gastrodia elata (1500g), and place them in a clean container. Add drinking water (500g) and stir evenly. Rub them repeatedly for 3 to 6 times (each time, the number of rubbing times should not be less than 500 times), and then dry them. After drying for several days, steam them again, and rub them repeatedly for 3 to 6 times (each time, the number of rubbing times should not be less than 300 times). Then use methods such as squeezing to make them into blocks, balls, or granules. Finally, dry them again and they can be packaged in packaging boxes.
[0042] The polygonatum substitute tea is mainly made of polygonatum, codonopsis pilosula and gastrodia elata as the main raw materials. It is a healthy substitute tea (tea substitute). When brewing the polygonatum substitute tea, it needs to be brewed with high temperature water above 90℃ before drinking.
[0043] The above embodiment of the present invention provides a method for producing a polygonatum substitute tea, and the prepared polygonatum substitute tea can supplement a variety of nutrients for the human body, has the effects of strengthening the body and regulating body functions, and is beneficial to maintaining good health. The polygonatum substitute tea is mild in nature and moisturizing in texture, and has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney.
[0044] Specifically, the polygonatum substitute tea can not only benefit the kidney and strengthen the spleen, but also relieve various symptoms caused by kidney deficiency, such as low back pain, hair loss, dry mouth, etc. The antioxidant ingredients rich in tea can resist free radicals and slow down the process of cell aging, so long-term drinking of polygonatum substitute tea can help delay skin aging. In addition, tea is also rich in amino acids and various trace elements, which can increase the oxygen content in the blood and promote metabolism. Long-term drinking of polygonatum substitute tea has a significant effect on improving the symptoms of insufficient qi and blood, such as fatigue, weakness, pale complexion, etc.
[0045] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. These will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
