What you need:

We love to make this tea in winter, because it helps keep your body warm and can be appreciated anytime of the day!

Simmer for at least 20 minutes, a handful of red dates cut in slices (Hong Zao | 紅棗 ), a thumb of ginger (Jiang | 姜 ) minced or sliced (I grate it because I love it hot and spicy!), brown sugar (Hong Tang 评论 ).

This beverage's benefits:

• Boost your immune system
• Help treat common flu
