My throat has been itching and dry since the weekend. I can foresee a cough attack coming soon. Mom always tell me that Luo Han Guo Chrysanthemum Tea 罗汉果菊花茶 is good to counter the heatiness which the Chinese believes in.
Thus I quickly brewed some to ease the pain.
I love this drink when it is cold. Extremely soothing for a dry throat.
These days, I always stock up on Luo han Guo and especially so during the hot season. To select a good luo han guo, mom said it should "bounce" but these days, the medical hall doesn't allow you to do that.
What you need:
2 Luo Han Guo
a handful of dry Chrysanthemum
4 cups of water
Rock sugar to taste
Method:
Rinse Luo Han Guo and crack it open
Rince Chrysanthemun.
Put everything into a pot and filled with water. Boil for 1 hour.
Strain.
Either serve hot or cold.
I need a cup of this now...having sore throat...
