甜茶里的红枣与桂圆
婚礼甜茶中，有些家庭会加入红枣、桂圆等食材，以甜味和吉祥的联想寄托祝愿。具体配方并不只有一种，也会随家人口味而变化。茶壶端上桌，熟悉的香气便多了一层婚礼的记忆。了解食材的寓意，是读懂习俗的一种乐趣；这些好意头本身，并不代表食疗功效。
Red dates and longan in sweet tea
Some families add red dates, longan or other ingredients to wedding tea, using sweetness and auspicious associations to express good wishes. Recipes also reflect family tastes. A familiar aroma can become part of the day's memory. These ingredients have symbolic meanings in the occasion, rather than promises of therapeutic benefits.
