　　It is recommended to use warm water of 60-70℃ for soaking wolfberry. It is not recommended to use boiling water or too cold water. Lycium barbarum is rich in vitamin C, carotene and other nutrients. Boiling water at too high a temperature will destroy these components, reduce the nutrient retention rate, and may also cause the polysaccharides in the wolfberry to excessively precipitate, making the taste sticky. ； If the water is too cold, it will be difficult to fully dissolve the aroma and active ingredients of wolfberry, and the brewed water will have a weak taste.
