Some Healthy drinks for you


SWEET VEGETABLE DRINK

This drink is good for softening tightness caused by heavy animal food consumption, and for relaxing the body and muscles. It is especially beneficial for softening the pancreas and helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

1. Use equal amounts of four sweet vegetables (onions, carrots, cabbage and sweet winter squash), finely chopped.

2. Boil four times the amount of water and allow to boil for two to three minutes. Reduce flame to low, cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.

3. You may strain the vegetables from the broth and use them later in soups or stews, or leave as is.

4. Drink the broth either hot or at room temperature.

LOTUS ROOT AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM TEA

This tea can help decompose heavy animal-quality fat and mucus.

1. Follow the same steps as in the previous recipe with fresh or dried lotus root.
2. Soak a one to one-half inch diameter dried shiitake mushroom. Chop or slice finely when soft.
3. Add two cups of water (you may include the soaking water from the shiitake mushroom).
4. Bring to a boil, reduce the flame and simmer for approximately seven to ten minutes. Add a pinch of sea salt or shoyu/soy sauce toward the end. Drink while hot.
