Why people make this sweet soup

Nourilo here. When the Olympics come around, plenty of friends end up watching matches deep into the night, and after a few late nights the body tends to run hot and irritable — red eyes, a bitter mouth, mouth ulcers, puffy gums, breakouts, a short temper. During spells like this it is best to step away from warming tonic herbs and lean toward gentle, cooling, moistening soups instead. This light, sweet bowl is my pick for exactly that mood.

Safety first — read before you cook
