Red Sugar Tangerine Peel Water for Bloating | Warming Cantonese Remedy

Red sugar tangerine peel water for bloating

When the stomach feels swollen and you cannot face another rich meal, Cantonese kitchens reach for this. A piece of aged tangerine peel, a chunk of Ship Brand Rosé Brown Sugar, and a pot of water, simmered together until the kitchen smells of warm peel and caramel. Sipped slowly, it eases bloating and warms the middle.

This is a remedy where the sugar is doing real work. Red sugar carries the molasses and minerals that white sugar removes. Combined with the qi-moving peel, it warms the digestive system and helps move stagnation.
