Black Fungus With Dates Drink

Black Fungus With Ginger Drink

This drink is said to help reduce high blood cholesterol.  How effective, I do not know but it certainly helps to keep cholesterol in check if you tend to eat a lot of fried and fatty food. 

Main ingredients - Black fungus, red dates and ginger

Ingredients 

50 gm black fungus- soaked and rinsed

500 ml water

3-4 thick slices of old ginger

9 red dates

Boil until water is reduced to 1 cup

• Put all ingredients in a pot or slow cooker.  Bring to a boil and simmer on low fire till drink is slightly thick.  Pour into a bowl or mug [about 240 ml].  Serve warm [best on empty stomach].  Discard the ingredients.  
• Prepare this drink fortnightly or once a month would be good for all.
