How to Make Ginseng Tea (花旗蔘茶) with Mama Lin

Mama Lin often prepares ginseng tea for me after I’ve eaten too many fried foods or when I’m feeling a little unwell. In traditional Chinese medicine, ginseng is used to help digestion, build immunity, supplement the lungs, and relieve illness. Here’s a simple ginseng tea recipe that you can easily prepare at home.

1 teaspoon (4 grams) jasmine rice, can sub with any white rice

WHERE TO BUY GINSENG
You can generally find dried ginseng in Chinese medicine shops. I’ve seen it occasionally in Chinese grocery stores too. I’ve never bought them online, but I found this Wisconsin ginseng on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3om8a84 (affiliate link)
