Sugarcane, Carrot, Coriander and Coix Water

Why people make this water

When chickenpox is going around — sometimes in the worst waves in years — many children come down with it, and parents look for something gentle and cooling to help. Nourilo suggests simmering this sugarcane, carrot, coriander and coix water for the kids: traditionally it’s seen as clearing heat, cooling the blood and easing toxins. If a child already shows signs of chickenpox, keep them home from school to avoid spreading it.
