Ginger Red Date Tea for Yang Restoration

Since it's season changing time, it's a good time to look at boosting your immune system.
It's a very simple tea with ingredients that have benefits to boosting different aspects of your body.
If you just read about the ingredients and what's it good for, it honestly seems like something you can drink every once in a while to boost your immune system. But with traditional Chinese medicine, there's a balance to everything so you don't want to over do it either.

My aunt in HK sent me specific date and time to drink this tea as it's the best time to restore balance to the body.
Specifically from Mar 18-22 before 11am every day.
Maybe it's a mental thing but my mom has friends that claim it works and helped boost immune system the years they drink this.
Doesn't hurt to try :)

Ginger Red Date Tea

For 1 cup

Ingredients

• 2 thin slices of ginger
• 1 large Red Date or 2 small Red Dates (seedless)
• 1/2 tsp Brown Sugar
• 1.25 Cup of Water

Directions

1. Wash and cut 2 thin slices of ginger
2. Remove seed from the red date (it's a must! or buy seedless)
3. Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to light boil
4. Turn off heat immediately and let it steep for 10 mins

And you're done :)

Super easy if you have seedless red dates already so you only have to put everything together and heat it up.

If this is too spicy for you, add a little more brown sugar.
