# Peach blossom tea

Dohwa-cha (도화차; 桃花茶) or peach flower tea is a traditional Korean tea made from the dried peach flowers. It is believed that dohwa-cha helps treating constipation and calculus.

## Preparation

Dohwa-cha can be prepared with 15–20 grams (0.53–0.71 oz) of dried peach blossoms boiled in 500 millilitres (18 imp fl oz; 17 US fl oz) water. The flowers are harvested during the springtime, dried in shade, and kept in a paper bag. Stamens are removed before being dried. Dohwa-cha usually comes pre-made. It is recommended to steep the buds for 5 to 10 min after adding to water. Times may vary depending on preference of strength.
