This tea is particularly good if you suffer from the cold and are afraid of being cold all year long. Your hands and feet are always cold, and you suffer from a mixture of pain and cold in your legs and stomach. This tea can help to relieve these symptoms.
Many people fear that drinking this tea will accumulate excessive heat in the body. Drinking the tea in the morning will avoid this problem. If you do not have the cold symptoms described above, you should not drink this tea all year long, as this may lead to accumulating excessive body heat during fall and winter. However, if you don’t have a cold physique, you can still drink the tea during the recommended seasons.
Try this recipe for 2 cups of ginger and red date tea:
- 6 red dates
- A handful of goji
- 10 Sichuan peppercorns
- 4 slices of ginger
Add these ingredients to two cups of water and boil until the water turns a light reddish color, drink, and enjoy the benefits of an illness-free summer!
