charmaine, is me. Is good for "ren fei" but i dun think works on cough. I treat it like a cooling tea w/o the "liang" effect. you can try 6-8, taste after 1st hr, not sweet enough put a bit more.
Btw, another unorthodox method for cough. Eat jackfruit w/o washing it, so that the sap is still on. Works wonder on my mom's cough, she's those that got very naggy cough.
dsii, ya lor, my clothes everyday got to fan dry. Is this weather that i always contemplate of buying dryer.
