Red date soup base: Red dates nourish the spleen and stomach, benefit qi and blood, warm the middle burner; ginger slices and longan help dispel cold and stop cough. Drink it in autumn and winter to prevent dryness and protect the spleen and stomach.
Jinjiu boost: contains astragalus (tonifies qi and consolidates the exterior), angelica (replenishes and activates blood), Xianmao/Epimedium (warms the kidneys and supports yang). The slight warmth of alcohol "draws medicine into the meridians," allowing benefits to penetrate faster. Overall: Warms the body + refreshes + improves complexion, moderately relieves fatigue.
Synergistic effect: sweet red dates + herbal slightly bitter Jinjiu, balanced taste without greasy; Hot drinks slow alcohol absorption, gentler and better for the stomach.
Note: 35% vol of Jinjiu, add 30-50ml (one small cup) at a time, do not exceed 90ml per day. Use with caution in yin deficiency with excessive internal heat, those with internal heat, or pregnant women; moderate amounts are healthiest!
Simple homemade recipe (5-10 minute quick recipe, serves 1-2):
Ingredients: 8-10 red dates (pits removed for better flavor), dried longan 5-8 pieces (optional, sweetness and heart-enriching), 3-5 slices of ginger (essential for warding off cold), Jinjiu 30-50ml, water 500-600ml, brown sugar/rock sugar as needed (adjust sweetness)
Steps: Wash red dates and longan; Slice ginger. Add water to a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then add red dates, longan, and ginger slices, then simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes (to release the jujube-ginger aroma). Turn off the heat, pour in Jinjiu, and stir well. Add brown sugar to taste, and drink while hot! (Warm all day with a thermos bottle outside) #劲酒 #中国白酒 #digialc #养生 #wellness #中医养生
