Snow Pear Drink - Nourishes the Lungs and Soothes Cough
This week, I have been boiling this Snow Pear Drink for my kids who are down with flu and cough. This drink helps to nourish the lungs and soothe cough.
There are 2 recipes because the first wasn't popular with my kids who did not like the almond taste. Hence, recipe 2 is the modified version which they love so much.
Recipe 1:
Ingredients:
- 1 Snow Pear
- South Almond (北杏)
- North Almond ( 南杏)
- Chuan Bei (川贝)
- White Fungus
- Honey Rock Sugar
Amount of each ingredient is up to you, depending on the size of the pot. I just estimated the amount.
Method:
1.Cut the snow pear into quarters.
You may choose to remove the skin and core. However, as I am going to drain the drink after boiling, I didn't remove the skin or core.
2. Wash the all the almond and chuan bei.
3. Cut the white fungus into small pieces.
4. Put all the ingredients into a pot of water and boil it.
However, my children didn't like the Snow Pear Drink in recipe 1 because they didn't like the almond smell and taste. So my cousin, Wendy, who taught me this recipe, told me to replace the almond with wolfberries.
Recipe 2:
Ingredients:
- 1 Snow Pear
- Wolfberries( 枸杞子)
- Chuan Bei (川贝)
- White Fungus
- Honey Rock Sugar
