Canadian Ginseng Tea
For convenience, disposable soup pouch is used in this recipe. If you don’t have it, add the washed chrysanthemum flowers to the pot. After simmering for 5 minutes, use a slotted ladle/strainer to remove the flowers.
Ingredients:
- 20g Canadian ginseng slices (花旗蔘片) rinsed and placed in disposable soup pouch(es)
- 1.5 litres water
- 20g chrysanthemum (菊花/朵朵香)
- 1 tbsp wolfberries (杞子) soaked in water until puffy; soaking water discarded
- 50g rock sugar (冰糖) to taste
Directions:
- Place ginseng and water in a soup pot. Simmer for about 30 minutes, adding the chrysanthemum soup pouch and wolfberries in the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- Add rock sugar to taste and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Take out the soup pouch, squeeze out any liquid contained in it and discard. Serve the tea chilled or at room temperature.

Ginseng and chrysanthemum together…one warm, one cool..a well-balanced sweetened soup.
Wow, this looks amazing. I need to try it now that we’re finally getting some nice weather here. I wonder where I can get wolfberries?
Over here in Malaysia – it’s also tremendously hot but then later in the evenings – it pours!! Your recipes are real eye openers! I had no idea there was Canadian ginseng and American ginseng!
i’d love this…minus the ginseng (i dunno why but i can’t handle ginseng)
Oh wow, look at the pretty chrysanthemum opening in the bowl!
Very healthy and pretty, great dish ^^
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for, given the impossibly hot weather these past couple of weeks (and what with the recent haze too) – a cooling liong cha to make at home.
So far I’ve made lo hon kor and a pre-packaged herbal tea (with so many different dried ingredients – I lost count!) but this looks ‘clearer’ somehow. Thanks for sharing! :)
