Golden Monk Fruit and Sterculia (Pang Da Hai) Tea

Why people make this tea

Winter is peak cold-and-flu season, and the first thing both tend to hit is the upper respiratory tract — runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, headache or fever. A common cold usually starts with a sore throat and clears in a day or two; flu tends to be heavier, with worse headache and fever. This monk fruit and sterculia tea is traditionally taken to soothe the throat and clear heat — handy for a hot, sore throat and for those with dry, sluggish bowels.
