There is a really hot day today…..i felt like I am
getting to faint, my head is heavy until I d’t want to wake up from my bed. I think
I need to drink something to “cold down” my body. Without thinking for second, I
quickly search if anything I can cook. Hehe …. Lucky me, I found these. The
taste is so good regardless serve with warm or cold.

1. Add all the ingredients except sugar into 2L boil water and simmer for 1.5 hours.

This is another type of dessert I like to cook. I like
the fungus and my kids will eat the pumpkin. Of course the man will drink the
soup J
I have added some black-eyed pea into this dessert
which also enrich the taste and more nutrition.
This pea can help to conditioning hair wellness, energy
supplementing, maintain ear arterial function, protect brain, improve eyesight,
improve immunity, calm the nerves and increase estrogen.

I used to drink this dessert when I am my 1st
and 2nd pregnancy. During the time, I am very keen to drink soup,
once without the soup…then I am craving for this dessert.
Fortunately, this is very easy to cook. I believe this
dessert can be served anytime as you like.
I only realized fungus is such a wonderful food after I
consumed so many time of this dessert.
Let’s share it out with you with some fungus’s
functions:
- Improve strong fine
- Nourish kidney
- Intestines
- Improve “qi” and blood
- Strong heart and brain
- Refreshing and beauty
- Rejuvenation
- Longevity
强精、补肾、润肠、益胃、补气、和血、强心、壮身、补脑、提神、美容、嫩肤、延年益寿
With this very economy dessert, I think I should start
cooking it once a week for my family.
You can replace the apple with other fruits like pear,
papaya or gingko and red dates.
