Red dates and longan soup

Overview

This red date and longan soup is a must-have for women during the menstrual period. It contains brown sugar, which can replenish blood and qi. If you have dysmenorrhea, add a few slices of ginger to drive away cold and relieve pain! Before I met my husband, I really didn’t pay attention to these things. Since I met him, this monthly must-have has become my husband’s job. Every time he will add or subtract some ingredients according to my situation. No matter how busy I am, I will drink hot red dates and longan soup on that day. If I think this soup is the best dish for a lifelong love affair. To be honest, it was really because of this that I decided to marry him. An ordinary bowl of soup made me feel a man's thoughtfulness and delicate feelings. It is enough to have my husband by my side in this life...
