Why people make this water
Nourilo had been teaching back-to-back and his throat had gone dry and scratchy, so he went to market for fresh long lei ye, apples and the like to head off an autumn cough and a sore throat. No fresh long lei ye that day — but the Chinese olives were big and cheap, so he grabbed half 600 g. The Chinese olive traditionally clears heat, soothes the throat and generates fluids, and is wonderful for an unhappy throat. With apple, carrot, water chestnut and a couple of candied tangerine cakes from the cupboard, it simmers into a clear, sweet, throat-friendly drink that also helps fend off dry-autumn coughing.
