Hormone Balancing Chinese Red Bean Soup for Period Cramps

Soak the lily bulb (3—4 pieces) and raw adzuki beans (¼ cup) overnight

The next day, add the lily bulb (3—4 pieces) and soaked beans (¼ cup) into a pot with the tangerine peel (1 piece)

Pour in the water (2 cups) and bring everything to a boil

Cook for 30 mins, and see if the beans are soft to the touch and lily bulb can easily be cut by the edge of a spoon

Once the ingredients are cooked, add in Chinese black sugar (1 block) (or sweetener of choice)

Mash the beans a bit to help thicken the soup, then add in goji berries (1 tsp) to cook for 10 mins

Separately, cook the tapioca boba pearls (1 tsp) according to package instructions

Once the red bean soup is done, take off the heat and scatter on some osmanthus flowers (1) for garnish

Mix in the tapioca (1 tsp) and enjoy!
