This soup is great for heated bodies and sore throats. It is mildly cooling, but extremely soothing with it’s sweet taste and smoothness.
Since it’s meat free, it’s completely oil free and by adding more carrots, you can sweeten it to the point where you can consider drinking it cold (definitely tasted amazing cold because it really helped cool my poor, fiery throat).
You can consider adding other ingredients as well, such as corn, onions, pumpkin or even meats (pork, chicken or fish are all good meats to “salty” up the soup).
Wash and prepare dried tangerine peel (by scraping it with a flat knife on both sides)
Boil your soup water and when it boils, add all the ingredients together
Boil on high for thirty minutes and reduce to medium boil for another hour
Serve and enjoy!
Can be served cold, so you can refrigerate before serving
Any benefits?
Helps eliminate sore throats and heaty bodies
It is a mildly cooling soup
It’s quite diverse in that you can add meats (to make it more salty or just add salt in moderation) or keep it a sweet, cold drink and refrigerate prior to consumption

This drink is literally called “Open Voice Tea”. I’m not posting the ingredients to this tea because I don’t actually know them all. I bought this as a prepackaged “tea” from my Chinese doctor because I lost my voice due to a cold or cough or throat infection (I’m not sure because it’s been a long 4-week marathon of illness). What you will notice in this tea is that there are these GIANT, MEGA flies in them. I have yet to figure out what breed they are and what are the uses, but my Chinese colleagues at work have told me that it’s common to drink these flies when one loses their voice (so it’s not completely a wacko’s idea of a joke). The tea tastes pretty minty and thoroughly bitter and I didn’t enjoy it one bit. I’m not sure whether it worked or not, but I did eventually get my voice back after drowning myself in Chinese medicine because all else failed. You can buy this prepackaged from your local herbalist or Chinese doctor and it cost around $30 HKD per pack. I’m not a fan of Chinese medicine, but I couldn’t help post this very interesting discovery.
What ingredients are required?
Ask your Chinese doctor or herbalist if such a tea exists. I didn’t delve too deeply into the ingredients because I was in a rush and just wanted something to give me my voice back. I will write this section if and when I have time to go back to dissect it.
How do I prepare it?
Put all the ingredients into a cup
Add boiling water to the brim and steep for 5 minutes
Drain or pour out the tea only
You can drink the tea a few times by adding boiling water back into the original cup (repeat above instructions)
Any benefits?
It’s supposed to help you recover your “lost” voice – literally
Any precautions?
I drank 2 cups in a period of about 3 hours and started getting dizzy right after (ie: felt like I was on a floating high – oscillating around the office)
Take caution if you don’t think you can handle too cooling ingredients (definitely ask the Chinese doctor)
This simple, clean and very sweet soup is great for people with sore throats or heaty bodies. You can actually drink it cold or hot and it’s ideal for all seasons. I’ve decided to go meatless because I wanted to drink it cool and it turned out fabulous. Fat free, oil free and made with all natural ingredients, it’s great for kids and adults alike.
Any benefits?
Meatless soup is great for vegetarians and is fat and oil free
