Chinese Aguardente

EP
====
Honeyzito ,
Share with you a drink that can help to make you feel better when you have headache in winter ,
this is a hot drink in specially for winter , we named it " Hot coke with ginger " , here's the recipe :


Ingredients :
. coke x 1 can ( please use the original flavor )
. ginger x 1 small piece ( can pick a big one if you want more ginger flavor )
. lemon x 1 small piece

Method :

. Peel the ginger , thinly sliced and slightly crush them , put them aside


. Wash the lemon and thinly sliced , put them aside


. Heated a small sauce pan and pour the whole can coke inside ,
slightly cook the liquid with very low fire for 5 minutes ,


. than add the ginger slices into the pan when you see bubbles and cook for 5 more minutes .


. Put those lemon slices at the bottom of a cup and pour the cooked liquid into the cup .



. Served when hot :-D

Benefit :

Ginger can dispense wind cold away from the body and help to creat heat ,
i think it got a similar " heat / hot " feelings in your stomach
like after you drink " Aguardente " .
Lemon can nourish and moisten your throat ,
Specially good when you feel you may have slightly wind and coldness / with poor apppetite .
If you think that's too many ginger inside , you can put 2-3 slices inside and with more lemons .
Using the original flavor coke beacuse you dont have to put extra sugar ,
but if you still think that it is not enough , go ahead and put 1 tsp sugar inside :-)

Hope you like and maybe try it next time when you feel super cold .
Love you ~

Hummm...the feeling might be similar to Aguardente but its usage is completely different... Chinese aguardente is good for headaches while Aguardente is the reasons for your headaches after a huge hangover haha
