Chinese Olive and Rock Sugar Water

Why people make this water

Green Chinese olives are humble but kind to the throat — chew one and it tastes a little sour and astringent at first, then turns sweet. Traditionally they are associated with clearing heat, soothing the throat and generating fluids. Nourilo brews them with a little rock sugar into a simple, comforting water, traditionally enjoyed for a sore, scratchy throat and frequent cough.
