Luo Han Guo is known as the Chinese kiwi fruit. Luo Han Guo is cool in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the lungs and large intestine meridian. It has the functions of clearing away heat and detoxifying, producing body fluids and quenching thirst, and moisturizing the intestines and laxative. One of the biggest benefits of Luo Han Guo is that it can be used as a sugar substitute for diabetics, because Luo Han Guo can strengthen pancreatic function and help secrete insulin. The vitamin E contained in Luo Han Guo can enhance the penetration of cell membranes, allowing diabetic patients to also take sugary fruits. Today, I used Luo Han Guo with my own honey-soaked ebony plums, which also have the effect of soothing the throat. Because Luo Han Guo is very sweet, I paired it with a few sour roselle flowers to enrich the taste of the cooked throat tea. This tea not only moisturizes the throat, but also tastes sour and sweet. It also has the effect of appetizing and relieving summer heat. It is added with ebony plum and Luo Han Guo. The color is very dark and not very pretty, but it tastes very good and has a strong throat moistening effect.
