I wish I had checked in earlier. @ sofie1212, I hope your headache is gone now. If this kind of condition gets you next time (hope there is no such thing next time), slice up 30+ grams (one traditional Chinese tael, the same that you have in the wet market in HK) — that’s a lot of ginger — into thin slices, say 1~2 mm thick. Boil them in 300 ml of water (that’s a very big cup, your ordinary rice bowl is about 250 ml ) for about 5 to 10 minutes (10 is better, at least 5 when you are in a hurry, or if you can’t take the hotness of the ginger) — use medium low heat after the water is brought to a boil. If you have real raw sugar (search that in Tea Guardian), use that, if not, use your traditional dark slab sugar (片糖) to sweeten the drink as much as you like it, but the sweeter the better. Drink this ‘ginger tea’ when it is still hot.
Re: Tea Drunk!
What Alexargon said is correct for prevention of tea drunk, but when you have got it. You need to dissipate the ‘toxic wind’ energy that comes with the overdose of TCM coldness of green style tieguanyin. Remember, the greener the TGY, the colder it is in TCM term, the more wind you’ll get, esp when you are quite tired already.
I just learned that I have not written about the cure for tea drunk in the TG site. I am sorry I have not been better help soon enough. Hope you have a good Sunday at least.
