“Stove-boiled tea,” a way of drinking tea, has a strong sense of ritual and the ceremony has become a new favorite. People sit around a charcoal-filled stove, chatting, enjoying desserts, boiling tea while roasting snacks. Sounds great, doesn’t it? But how to roast (烤) snacks? Which ones are suitable? Save this guide and read on!
Niangao
Roasting time: 13-18 minutes
Niangao, or sticky rice cake, is one of the most popular snacks with the stove-boiled tea. Roasted niangao becomes soft and sweet. After it is roasted, you can enjoy it with condiments (调味品) such as brown sugar, white sugar or honey.
Oranges
Roasting time: 3-6 minutes
Roasting oranges is unique. With the rising temperature in the stove, the special smell of orange peel will slowly fill the air, making you feel relaxed. When roasting oranges, make sure they are heated evenly, so that they taste like warm orange juice.
Peanuts
Roasting time: 8-12 minutes
The peanut is a snack that will keep both your hands and mouth busy by shelling and eating. When roasting peanuts, one way to go is to make small cracks on their pods first, and remember to flip (翻面) peanuts to prevent charring (糊).
Chinese Dates
Roasting time: 8-12 minutes
The softness, aroma and sweetness of the Chinese date become even more pronounced after heating. To roast, you could skewer several Chinese dates together, which makes it easier to rotate them at the same time.
After preparing all the snacks, here comes the central figure — tea. Common tea choices include rock tea, aged white tea, Pu’er and black tea. However, if you are up for trying new things, how about fruit tea, flower tea, ginger tea, etc. based on your personal taste preference.

Is it true that laughter is helpful to improve heart health? According to a recent study, the answer is YES! Having a laugh causes the tissue inside the heart to expand and increases oxygen flow around the body. Patients with coronary artery disease (冠心病) who engaged in a course of laughter therapy had reduced inflammation and better health, the research found.
In the study, scientists carried out a first-of-its-kind experiment to examine if laughter therapy could improve symptoms of patients with heart disease. It involved 26 adults with an average age of 64, all diagnosed with coronary artery disease. Over three months, half were asked to watch two different hour-long comedy programs each week, including popular sitcoms. The other half watched two different serious documentaries, about topics such as politics and religion. At the end of the 12-week study period, the comedy group improved by 10% in a test measuring how much oxygen their heart could pump around the body.
The group also improved in a second measure that tested how well arteries can expand. They also had blood tests to measure several inflammatory biomarkers (炎症指标), which indicate how much plaque (斑块) has built up in the blood vessels, and whether people are at risk of heart attack or stroke. The results showed that these inflammatory markers had significantly reduced compared with the control group. “When patients with coronary artery disease arrive at hospital, they have a lot of inflammatory biomarkers,” said the lead researcher, Prof Marco Saffi, of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre in Brazil.
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology in Amsterdam, the world’s largest heart disease conference.
