I'm sharing on this 養顏 drink, which I first heard about from 牛爾老師. It's really simple to make.
Ingrdients:
White Fungus (1 big stalk aka1朵)
Wolfberry (a handful)
Red Dates (a handful)
Properties:
Drink is supposed to keep your skin moisturized (保濕) due to the white fungus. Red dates is to 補血, while wolfberry is good for the eyes :) In all, it's a simple drink to make, and a cheap alternative to bird nest. I simply dump all the ingredients into my slow cooker before I go to sleep. Use the auto setting, and it will be ready the next morning when I wake up. * I usually cook it for 6 hours*
will soak white fungus first, and throw away the yellow core |
red dates to be cut in half/slitted so that the goodness can go into the drink |
all the ingredients together |
my 'steady kitchen helper' |
always set to auto when cooking overnight |
all ready to be cooked |
Taste:
Reminds me of some collagen drink. The taste is very light, and I would drink this in place of water. Even my dear likes to drink this too :)
Other use:
I have also tried using the remaining liquid to apply on my face. Haha... was trying to see if it can act as a essence/mask. The texture is quite thick, a bit gooey too, but it spreads easy on the skin. I'll massage everything in till it's being absorbed, followed by a moisturizer.
I feel safe doing so, cos it's all natural. It feels gentle too (no prickly or uncomfortable feeling). However, I don't see much of a effect and have stopped using so. Recommend you drink it instead...
