Preparation

When preparing, follow the general instructions on how to prepare the herbal decoction at the bottom of the mixture page. It is very desirable to add 3-5 grams of mature panax ginseng (we recommend Panax ginseng TaiwanTCM LIANG). We can improve the tang by adding a few thin slices of fresh extra ginger. We get a more sweet taste by putting a few more pieces of jujube. Jujube improves the properties of the potion, but it is also appetizingand very tasty, even raw.
