Winter melon tea – refreshing and helps to relieve heat
In summer, we tend to perspire more, feel thirsty, frustrated, as well as hot tempered. During this time, most people cannot resist the temptation of iced milk tea or juice, which can be detrimental to our health due to the high sugar content, as it can affect our stomach and pancreas. Why not try this healthy drink, ideal for the summer season – winter melon tea!
Winter melon can be used to prepare a nice dish, it can also be used to boil as winter melon tea.
According to the Chinese Compendium of Materia Medica, winter melon has a cooling nature, is diuretic, helps reduces swelling, removes heat and toxin, clears stomach heat, amongst other benefits. Adding a small amount of ginger when preparing winter melon tea can help to neutralize the “coolness” of the winter melon, thus making it a very refreshing drink suitable for summer season.
The ingredients and preparation method for the tea are mentioned below.
Ingredients:
Winter melon 1000g (1 kg), ginger a few slices
