- [Authentic Usage]
- (No cooking) While drunk at room temp, it's best served thoroughly chilled.
- Drinking it after greasy Chinese food (braised pork/stir-fries) allows the tea's astringency and lemon aroma to cleanly wash away mouth fat.
- A popular summer trend among Chinese youth is to partially freeze it into a slushy sorbet and drink it crunchy.
