Place mimosa flower in a cup and soak in boiling water. Strain. Add honey to taste and drink when cool.

Functions:

• Nourish heart and fortifies the spleen

• Clears the mind and encourages a cheerful spirit
  

Indications:

• Upset emotions and troubled mood

I also like to mix mimosa flower with various types of green tea. It gives the tea a sweet flavor and has nice benefits for the health.
