matters needing attention

1、 When the hawthorn is boiled, the ratio of Hawthorn to water is 2:1 (hawthorn does not need to be seeded)

Because the fructic acid contained in Hawthorn will cause chemical reaction after meeting with iron, and produce low iron compounds, which may cause poisoning after eating
