During confinement, according to Chinese beliefs, novel mothers are non supposed to drinkable water, but should accept inward fluids inward other forms, such equally soups or infusions. There are two principal types of infusions that close novel mothers drink, ane is the rice tea too the adjacent of class is ruddy appointment tea.
Which is tastier? Definitely the latter.
With sense from previous confinement, this fourth dimension I pre packed the ruddy dates tea ingredients for my confinement lady (CL), too hence that at that topographic point volition non live on variations of taste. Well, during the concluding confinement, the CL merely grabbed this too that, w/o exact proportions, too hence the ruddy appointment tea tasted somehow dissimilar each day. I didn’t desire this to tumble out again, too hence I prepared 27 packs of it. Why 27? I volition live on inward hosp for three days, 30-3=27. One or two days at the terminate w/o this, it’s okla for me.
The sum of materials I bought:
Red Dates / Zizyphi Fructus (hong zao) 红棗: 4kg
Blue Dates蓝棗 : 1kg

Dried Longan flesh / Arillus Longan (long yan rou) 龍眼肉: 1.5kg

The sum I packed for each day:
Red Dates: 140gm
Blue Dates: 30gm
Black Dates : 70gm
Dang Shen : 30gm
Dried Longan : 50gm
Wolfberries: 30gm
Anything extra, merely function along it for herbal soups.
