Monk Fruits (Lo Han Guo) and Pear Soup (dessert)


The haze has been driving me and my family crazy lately. We are so worried to go outdoor and had cancelled most of the outdoor activities too to avoid putting our health in danger. We can't do much to the weather at this moment but we can prevent ourselves by falling ill. Keep ourselves hydrate and rest well. 

Besides water, I believe "nourishing soup" can help our body to stay healthy. Just a few simple ingredients and it turned out delicious and nourishing. Try it!
