[0026] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0027] Embodiment 1: The present invention provides a honey tea for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30-50 parts of honey, 10-20 parts of green tea extract, 5-15 parts of spiny jujube seed extract, 5-10 parts of wolfberry extract, 3-8 parts of ginkgo leaf extract, 3-8 parts of lily extract, 2-5 parts of licorice extract, 1-3 parts of citric acid, 0.1-0.5 parts of vitamin B6, and 0.01-0.05 parts of vitamin B12.

[0028] Furthermore, the honey is natural wild honey, which has been processed by low-temperature concentration at 40-50° C., and the moisture content is controlled below 18%.

[0029] Among them, natural wild honey contains more natural enzymes, minerals and antioxidants and has higher nutritional value. Low-temperature concentration at 40-50°C helps to retain the active ingredients in honey, avoid high temperature from destroying its nutritional value and flavor, and control the moisture content below 18%, which not only improves the stability of honey, but also enhances its preservation effect, making honey tea less likely to ferment and deteriorate during storage.

[0036] Furthermore, the ginkgo leaf extract is ginkgo flavonoids extracted by enzymatic hydrolysis technology, the enzymatic hydrolysis temperature is 45-55° C., the enzymatic hydrolysis time is 2-3 hours, and the flavonoid content is ≥24%.

[0037] Among them, enzymatic hydrolysis is used to gently extract ginkgo flavonoids, reducing the thermal damage that may be caused by traditional extraction methods. After enzymatic hydrolysis at 45-55°C for 2-3 hours, the flavonoid content reaches more than 24%, which helps to improve blood circulation and enhance memory.

[0038] Furthermore, the lily extract is lily saponin extracted by microwave-assisted extraction, the microwave power is 400-500W, the extraction time is 10-15 minutes, and the saponin content is ≥75%.

[0039] Among them, microwave heating is fast and uniform, and can effectively extract saponin components in lily.

[0040] Furthermore, the licorice extract is glycyrrhizic acid extracted by ultrafiltration technology, the ultrafiltration membrane has a molecular weight cutoff of 10-20 kDa, and the glycyrrhizic acid content is ≥90%.

[0041] Among them, glycyrrhizic acid is extracted through ultrafiltration membrane technology to effectively remove impurities and improve purity. An ultrafiltration membrane with a molecular weight cutoff of 10-20kDa is used to ensure that the glycyrrhizic acid content reaches more than 90%. Glycyrrhizic acid has multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory and antitussive.

[0050] In step S3, the pH value and nutritional content of the product are adjusted by adding citric acid and vitamins. Citric acid, as an acidity regulator, can keep the pH value of the product within a suitable range, which helps to maintain the stability and taste of the product. The addition of vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 enhances the nutritional value of the product. At the same time, citric acid can also play a seasoning role and increase the taste of the product.

[0051] In step S4, the mixed liquid is homogenized by a high-pressure homogenizer. Homogenization can make the components in the mixed liquid more evenly distributed, improving the stability and consistency of the product. Two-stage homogenization can further refine the particles and make the product more delicate.
