Lingzhi Mushroom Soup

In the old dynasties, many emperors used lingzhi mushrooms as a secret recipe for longevity. Until today, lingzhi is still one of the best superfoods that can be included in your everyday diet.

Longan, red dates and goji berries nourish our health. These ingredients, together with ginseng, are a perfect match with lingzhi mushrooms. Combining the sweetness from the red dates and a slight bitterness from ginseng to create a natural balance, this soup is highly recommended as a confinement drink for postpartum women.
