CHINESE HERBAL TEAS
Not all Chinese herbal teas need to taste and be medicinal! These teas are designed to be enjoyed daily with simple, easy-to-find-more-common ingredients in supermarkets.
I tend to make a big batch and keep in the fridge. Some of these you can consumer both hot or cold, although traditionally, hot (or warm) is best!
