Made with 11 ingredients, including Chinese licorice, heart leaf, chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and Korean mint, this brew was created by Dr. Mei Fong Ng, an 82-year-old doctor who is a legend in her hometown of Guangdong, China, thanks to her expertise in both Eastern and Western medicine. 

Dr. Mei Fong Ng joined Grand Tea and Imports back in 2018 to expand GTI’s specialization beyond Chinese teas to include herbal medicine and comprehensive holistic care to Chinese-speaking patients in the way that they are familiar with from home. Her wisdom combined with her kind and sincere care has won over the loyalty of a lifetime of patients, who regularly check in with her to maintain their health. 

This herbal tea's complete recipe, along with all its ingredients and their exact amounts, is featured in a digital cookbook compiled by community group Send Chinatown Love (SCL). If you are interested in learning more about this remedy including the story behind this and many more recipes from Chinatown eateries, download a FREE copy of the cookbook HERE ($15 suggested donation). Donations will go to SCL's merchant pool, which will be evenly distributed across all participating merchants to help cover operating costs and provide stability during these uncertain times.

Cooking Instructions

In a large saucepan or medicine pot, heat up six large bowls of water. While the water is heating, remove the herbs from their packaging and rinse thoroughly to clean off any debris. Once water reaches a rolling boil, add in the herbs and back heat down to maintain a steady, slow boil.

If preparing the tea as a preventive measure for the flu
Boil the herbs for approximately 45 minutes or until half of the water has evaporated. Strain the liquid into your bowl. Serve hot and unsweetened. Makes 3 servings.

If preparing the tea as a cure for an existing cold or flu
Boil the herbs for roughly 75 minutes or until the liquid has condensed down to 1 large bowl’s worth. Strain the liquid into your bowl. Serve hot and unsweetened. Makes 1 serving.
