Fruit Enyzme

When I was clearing my table at my work station in the office, I came accross this Chinese cookbook called Oriental Cuisine given by the publisher. Flip through and something caught my eyes..... " Healthy Fruit Enyzme ". Get Polly to help me to translate the text into English and apparantly the Fruit Enyzme is a health drink and it helps to reduce fat, stress, cleanse our body digest system, beautifying our skin complexion, ease the problem of constipation and many more and it is also depends what type of fruits we used.

Few weeks back I make my own Fruit Enyzme and I make 2 jar of it using different fruits. Yesterday I had finished drinking the 2 jar of fruit enyzme and it really works for those that have constipation problem. Wah, everyday drink sure can 'pang sai liao'. ( So, Judy this one ngam you leh : ) )

Give it a try to this healthy drink.

Enyzme of Apple, Lemon & Orange and Enyzme of Grapes & Orange

Ingredients :
4 oranges
2 lemons
2 apples
A bunch of grapes
1 packet of Brown Sugar in pieces
30 gm of Shan Za
Honey

Method :
1. Clean the fruits and drain to dry. Then cut the apple, lemon and orange into slices. Cut the grapes into half.
2. Stack the fruits and Shan Za into a glass jar according to sequence. Apple, Orange, Lemon and Grapes, Orange.
3. Cut the brown sugar into small pieces and arrange on top of the fruits. Lastly pour in the honey.
4. Seal it and keep in a cool dry place for about 2 weeks.

Note: Shan Zha is actually used to make the Haw Flakes. You can get Shan Zha from any Chinese Medical Hall.As for Brown Sugar in pieces, you can get from any of the Chinese Provision Store.

According to the book :

Shan Za - help to ease cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure, coronory circulation problems, and hypertension.

Apple - help to defend cancer, beautify skin and it is good for heart.

Orange and Lemon - help to prevent constipation, beautify skin, and slimming.

Grape - help t0 supplement the blood, improve appetite, also it is good for children and women who has a weak body.

Apart from these, you can use banana, pineapple, kiwi, starfruit, dragon fruit, red dates, etc....

These 4 shots, little KPC Le-Ann snap it while I was arranging the fruits into the jar. She is not too bad, ya got a bit of my character. Hahaha....

Close tightly and leave it in a cool place

After day 20, the fruit enyzme is ready to drink. Yummy, yummy... but I still prefer th egrapes and orange enyzme, it taste more like a grape wine. The next round I am going to make banana and pineapple enyzme because it is good for moisturize and rejuvenating the skin.

Ginseng Tea

Last weekend, 4 of us have a cup of Ginseng Tea each. It is hard to force the 3 monsters at home ( I mean Dearie Suki, Le-Ann and Ee-Thern ) to drink the Ginseng Tea cos it taste a bit of bitter although I added in some rock sugar. According to my Aunt it is good to give them Ginseng Tea because it will help to boost their energy and makes the immune system in our body stronger so that they won't fall sick so often. Don't know whether true or not !

Get the Ginseng from Aunty Ah Boh's Chinese Medical Hall. 100gm for RM80 and this is actually the discounted price from her and it could be much more expensive. Divided the Ginseng into 4 portions and last Saturday double boiled one portion of it for about 5 hours in the slow cooker.

Finally after a few nagging and scolding from me, 3 of them finished up their Ginseng Tea with a 'SOUR FACE'. Really don't know how to appreciate this 'GOOD WIFE & MOMMY' !
