Introduction
The morning sunrise, a time when the world awakens from its slumber. It is a moment of hope, renewal, and new beginnings. For some people, this moment is marked by a simple ritual – sipping on a cup of coffee or tea to awaken their senses and prepare them for the day ahead. But what if there was another way to start your day? A way that not only invigorates your body but also nourishes your soul?
In this article, we will explore the concept of "Dragon's Breath" – an alternative morning drink that combines the sweetness of dragon fruit with the subtle bitterness of green tea. We will delve into its origins, its health benefits, and how it can be incorporated into your daily routine.
Origins
The idea behind "Dragon's Breath" stems from an ancient Chinese proverb: "龙舌兰日出一杯能醉吗?" translated as "Can one cup of dragon fruit in the morning make you drunk?" The answer lies in its unique blend of flavors and nutrients.
Dragon fruit is known for its vibrant pink or yellow skin adorned with green scales-like protrusions giving it an exotic appearance. Its name originates from China where it was first cultivated over 400 years ago under imperial patronage as an offering to royalty.
