- Let it steep for 3–5 minutes before drinking.
- Honey, rock sugar, black tea, oolong tea, or goji berries can be added according to personal preference.

How to Use Golden Osmanthus in Bird’s Nest Desserts
Golden osmanthus is ideal as a finishing ingredient for bird’s nest, snow swallow, white fungus, peach gum, and other sweet desserts. It is recommended to add a small amount of golden osmanthus after the dessert is cooked, then let it sit covered for 1–2 minutes. This helps preserve the natural osmanthus aroma without affecting the smooth texture of the dessert.
How to Choose Quality Golden Osmanthus
- Color: Quality golden osmanthus is usually naturally golden yellow or orange-yellow. It should not look overly dark.
