My last resort, I bought a bottle of this chinese herb that is known to clear the phlegm for her.
And also to prepare what my mom once taught me, Double Boiled Lotus Root Juice, known to be good for clearing phlegm and lungs.
What you need
8 segment of fresh lotus root
Rock sugar (to taste)
1 tbsp fresh ginger juice
A little water (about 2 tbsp)
Method
Grate lotus root till fine, using a cheese cloth, squeeze out the juice.
Add ginger juice, water and rock sugar to the prepared lotus root juice and double boil it.
Stir till sugar melted and juice slightly thicken.
Pour into two cups and steam it for one and half hour.
Hi Edith,
ReplyDeleteLittle one bug really strong n stubborn, haiz. Now, elder boy n me also begin to cough non-stop. Well, over here choice of Chinese herbs r really limited. Remembering that u ever posted some recipes for curing phlegm, hence I dropped by again.
Gotta two questions:
1) how long do I need to double boil?
2) fresh lotus roots are rare or seasonal here, can I use frozen one?
Sorry for taking up your time.
Thanks,
Mool
