RICE TEA

Fried Rice Tea

is brewed in a flask 
by simply pouring boiling water

over the fried rice grains, 
and let steep in the flask for 10min before drinking. 

It is cheap and easy to prepare.

Many elderly, my mom is one of them, 
drank this Tea during Confinement after childbirth.

They believe that fried rice tea

does wonders to the body.  

It helps to keep the womb warm, 
improve the immune system, 
wash off body fats, 
quench thirst 
and 
drain body fluid.

As drinking plain water is not advised during confinement, 
Rice tea is a good alternative
 to red dates drink
 which can be quite monotonous at times.

A good remedy to ward off chills in the body. 
For coughs having white bubbly saliva, 
try this rice tea.

Toasted Ginger slices may be added to enhance its effectiveness.

It is easy to prepare.

You need only

1 cup white rice or unpolished rice grains
