chinese tonics

With the weather being wonky, I thought it would be good to boil up a classic Chinese tonic for restoration and healing. The holidays have past. And we need to start our healthy routines again right? Chinese tonics are the perfect food to clean your system and reset. This particular tonic has the classic combination of goji berries, discordia, lotus seeds, sweet almonds, peanuts and date. All this goodness simmers in a pork based stocked for several hours. The finished product is a warming, inviting bowl of love. Making these tonics are a loving reminder of the food my mother and grandmothers shared with me growing up.
