Apple, Poria and Job's Tears Water

Why people make this drink

Most people know Job’s tears for reducing water retention, but Nourilo points out it also contains plant compounds traditionally associated with relaxing the muscles. So if your calves tend to cramp at night, it is worth eating Job’s tears more often. This light apple, poria and Job’s tears water supports gut health and is a good fit for anyone whose calves cramp when the weather or their feet turn cold.

2. Soak and rinse the poria and Job’s tears.
3. Combine everything with 1.5 L of water and boil for 20 minutes down to about 900 ml.

Nourilo’s Tips

This water is light but fragrant, good for young and old, and a fine fit for those managing the “three highs.” But Job’s tears is not for use during pregnancy.
