Why people make this soup

Nourilo wrote this for the season when half the kindergarten seems to be down with a cold and parents are fretting. During a feverish spell, little ones often have dark urine, no appetite, and that cranky, restless mood. This soup is naturally sweet — kids rarely refuse it — and is traditionally given to clear heat and gently encourage urination while the fever runs its course.
