Tremella lily and lotus seed soup

Overview

Today I made delicious Tremella lily and lotus seed soup for Chinese afternoon tea, which is good for both beauty and health. Tremella can nourish yin and lungs, nourish qi and blood, nourish the brain and refresh the mind. Lily flavor has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, replenishing blood and qi, diuresis, and calming the nerves. Lotus seeds help the circulation of qi and blood, are very effective in strengthening the spleen and kidneys, and preventing aging. The soup made by slow-cooking the three ingredients together is a good therapeutic food.
