Notes
If you suffer from Liver Qi Fire or Liver qi stagnation feel free to remove the ginger and exchange with a little chrysanthemum, green tea or Osmanthus flowers as these are more cooling for people with a heaty disposition.
In addition, if you are diabetic or on a low carb diet omit the honey.
If you are vegan and still love the sweetness in your tea, feel free to try Bee Free Honey, coconut nectar, agave.
We sometimes add in a couple of Chinese red dates for a little natural sweetness and it is nourishing for the spleen.
