Is chrysanthemum tea (strong) low FODMAP?

The strong preparation uses one teabag steeped for three to five minutes. Its green portion has low ratings for each listed FODMAP group. The small difference between the green and amber volumes makes measuring more useful than judging a cup by eye. These figures concern the prepared drink rather than dried chrysanthemum flowers.

Chrysanthemum Tea (Strong) and IBS: what to know

For a food diary, write down how much chrysanthemum tea you drank rather than simply 'one cup'. Include the brewing time and anything added. The ratings help describe the FODMAP portion but do not predict your individual symptoms. A second pour should also be recorded; the cup's capacity is not the same as the amount consumed.

Gut-friendly ways to eat chrysanthemum tea (strong)

Use a measuring jug to find the level corresponding to your chosen portion in a familiar cup. Brew with one bag, remove it at the planned time and measure the finished drink. Check weak chrysanthemum tea if that is your usual preparation. The weak entry happens to list the same volumes, so a shorter infusion does not justify inventing a larger green serving.
