Tonic Drinks & Waters
Fresh Chinese Yam, Corn Silk and Job's Tears Water
Traditionally used to strengthen the spleen, drain dampness and ease water retention
Why people make this water
Corn silk is something Nourilo has recommended before for supporting healthy blood sugar, and the good news is it is widely available at Chinese or Asian grocers and online. For households with someone watching their blood sugar, or anyone prone to puffiness, simmering corn silk into a daily water is an easy habit. To turn it into a soup the whole family can enjoy, pair it with fresh Chinese yam, carrot and Job’s tears — add a little dried tangerine peel to help move things along and a couple of honey dates to round out the flavour.
