Candied Winter Melon, Adzuki Bean and Corn Silk Tea

Why people make this tea

Winter melon is usually thought of as a summer cooler, but Nourilo keeps candied winter melon on hand year-round because it brews into a pleasant tea that is traditionally associated with promoting urination and easing water retention. Pair it with adzuki bean — long valued for draining dampness and reducing swelling — and corn silk, which is associated with supporting the kidneys, and you get a gentle, supportive cup.
