Red Date, Ginger and Apple Water

Why people make this drink

Nourilo likes this one because it is sweet, gentle and easy on everyone. Women with a blood-deficient constitution often feel it most around their period — pale complexion, cold hands and feet. In traditional thinking, red dates are a treasured tonic for qi and blood; pairing them with apple supports the spleen and stomach, while a few slices of ginger warm the body and chase off the cold.
