Snow fungus, lotus seed and mung bean syrup
Overview
The winter in Guangdong is cold and dry, and symptoms of internal heat may occur if you are not careful. Sugar water and herbal tea are essential. On a cold afternoon, eating a bowl of steaming sugar water will make your whole body warm and sweet. I think this is the power that food gives us! Snow fungus is mild in nature and non-toxic. It is known as bird's nest among common people. It can nourish yin and moisturize dryness, replenish qi and clear the intestines, and increase human immunity. Tumor patients can increase their tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Lotus seeds, sweet and astringent in taste, enter the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians, nourish the spleen and stop diarrhea, nourish the kidneys, nourish the heart and calm the mind. Mung beans, clear away heat and detoxify, diuretic and reduce swelling. (This sugar water can cause wind and cold, so diabetics should be careful when taking it!)
