Daikon Drink 1

This drink will help to lower fevers by inducing sweating. It also helps bring relief from poisoning that is caused by meat, fish, or shellfish.

1. Grate about three tablespoons of fresh daikon.
2. Mix the daikon with 1/4 teaspoon grated ginger and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or one tablespoon shoyu/soy sauce.
3. Pour two to three cups of hot bancha-twig tea or stem tea over the mixed ingredients.
4. Drink as much of the tea as possible while hot.
5. After drinking this tea, go to bed and wrap yourself in a blanket to induce perspiration.


NOTE:
- Since this tea is very strong, do not drink it more than twice a day for one or two days.
- For children, limit the quantity to one half cup per day.
- To reduce fever in babies and young children, it is better to give apple juice, grated apple or a kuzu drink with rice syrup (dissolve one teaspoon of kuzu in two teaspoons of cold water). Add one teaspoon of rice syrup. Bring to a gentle boil over a medium flame while stirring and turn off the flame as soon as the drink has thickened and become translucent.
