COOLING PROPERTIES OF WATER CRESS



My throat was beginning to feel sore again last weekend and I decided to go buy something cooling from the market. One of the hawkers there suggested that I buy water cress and make soup with it as it has cooling properties. She also told me to add the Lohan fruit to it for added oomph.This soup is used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat coughs, sore throat and combat phlegm. Luo han guo is also naturally sweet, so it gives a sweet taste to this soup.
