Can Can Tea is usually boiled with tea leaves, roasted dates and cracked longan. Pour water into the jar and burn it on the stove. At the same time, roast the dates on the stove. After the water in the jar boils, put the tea leaves, roasted dates, and broken longans into the jar.
Canned tea is not a type of tea, but is named after the use of canned tea. After the tea leaves have been boiled and the water overflows several times, that is, after the dates, longan and tea leaves have entered the water, find a cup (people who like sugar can put rock sugar in the cup) and pour the boiled water into it. Pour it into a cup, then add water to the can, and drink while cooking. It is best to bake the steamed buns by the stove and eat while drinking. It is a great enjoyment.
Extended information:
Canned tea is a characteristic traditional refreshment food in some mountainous areas of Gansu and some areas of Shaanxi. It is a unique tea-drinking custom that has been followed by local farmers from ancient times to modern times. Especially during festivals, every family has pots of tea set to gather relatives and friends. They regard drinking pots of tea as an indispensable part of their lives.
The allusion of cans of tea:
It is said that Lueyang was a gathering place for the Qiang people in ancient times. The Qiang people lived as nomads at that time and ate more beef and mutton. Tea was a necessity of life. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang set up a tea shop in the west of the county in order to win over the Qiang people, and then set up a sencha shop in the west at Xiakou Station and a sencha ridge in the mountain ridge.
Canned tea is probably the continuation and improvement of this tea drinking habit. Since Lueyang later became the residence of the Han people, it became a combination of the customs and habits of the Han people and ethnic minorities.
