The weather for the past few months have been very unpredictable.Almost everyone is sick and not feeling well. Especially children tend to get flu, phelgm, cough and fever. When my daughter have a cough I will brew this for her to drink. This is something good to strenghten her immune system and it is suppose to help eliminate phelgmy itchy coughs..
One can easily purchase a packet or two from the local chinese medical shops. It consists of dried honey dates, dried figs, dried sliced pears, chinese almond and a piece of sweetened dried mandarin orange. A packet of RM5.00 is enough for a family of 4 -5 persons. It is also children friendly cos it’s sweet and will not overdose.
To brew it, just put 3 litres of filtered water into a soup pot, pour in all the contents and boil steadily for 2 hour. The taste is not bitter, it is sweet so is nice for children to drink. My daughter is 3+ years old, so I give a 1-2 cups a day. Kids below 2 is not advisable to drink.
