Table of contents:

Fresh, light and delicately fragrant, this recipe brings together three star ingredients of Chinese summer dietetics: mung beans, Job's tears and lotus seeds, joined by the freshness of pear and mint and a floral touch of osmanthus. A combination that helps you cope better with heat and thirst, supports digestion and promotes a sense of calm.

Benefits

Summer freshness: In Chinese dietetics, mung beans are valued for their cooling nature. Paired with pear and mint, they are particularly well suited to hot spells and the feeling of thirst.
Digestive comfort: Job's tears are traditionally used to help clear Dampness, which can weigh down digestion and heighten the feeling of heaviness during hot, humid periods.
Balance & calm: In Chinese medicine, summer is associated with the Heart. Lotus seeds are traditionally used to nourish the Heart, calm the mind and support the Spleen.
