Why people make this soup
After a cold clears up, many people are left with a lingering cough — sometimes dry, sometimes with a little phlegm — that simply will not go away. This brew made with dragon tongue leaf and rock huangpi is a beloved remedy in Cantonese homes specifically for that post-illness cough. What Nourilo particularly appreciates about it is its balanced, neutral character: it works for both the warming (cold-type) and cooling (heat-type) varieties of cough, which makes it practical when parents are not sure what kind of cough their child has. The carrot and apple add a pleasantly mild sweetness that children tend to enjoy.
