The present invention relates to the technical field of functional beverages and discloses a herba epimedii and rhizoma polygonati beverage and a preparation method thereof, and the herba epimedii and rhizoma polygonati beverage comprises the following raw materials in parts: 5-10 parts of herba epimedii, 8-15 parts of rhizoma polygonati, 3-6 parts of Chinese wolfberry fruits, 5-8 parts of red dates, 4-7 parts of Chinese yams, a
trace element supplement, 2-5 parts of white granulated
sugar, 1-3 parts of honey, an additive and
purified water. The herba epimedii, the rhizoma polygonati and trace elements such as
zinc,
selenium and
manganese are compounded, the
zinc element can promote absorption and conversion of
icariin, the
selenium element and rhizoma polygonati
polysaccharide synergistically enhance the
oxidation resistance, the problem that a traditional beverage is single in
nutrition is solved, meanwhile, the
retention rate of
icariin in a finished product is high, the
recovery rate of the trace elements is high, and the product quality is improved. By adopting a beta-
cyclodextrin inclusion technology, the problem of
precipitation of trace elements and
plant polyphenols is solved, the stability of the beverage placed for a long time is improved, and by adding Chinese yam, fructo-
oligosaccharide and the like, the content of dietary fibers is enriched, and the
bitter taste of herba epimedii is neutralized.
