Imperata Sugarcane Carrot Water

Why people make this water

In the heat of summer, a body that’s already a little run-down and short of fluids can easily feel parched and out of sorts. Nourilo reaches for sugarcane to top up the body’s fluids, then pairs it with imperata root, traditionally used to clear heat and drain water, and carrot, traditionally regarded as aiding digestion and easing phlegm and cough. Simmered together as a tea, it’s a comforting drink for hot days when you feel dry-mouthed and overheated.
