I’m sure all you smart ladies know the benefits of incorporating ginger into our diets. Ginger aids digestion and boosts immunity. Drinking a cup of ginger tea is great as a pick-me-up at the end of a long day, not to mention it gives our tired complexion a nice healthy glow. But we don’t do it often because we are I am too lazy to, you know, wash, peel, slice a piece of ginger and steep it in hot water.

Agreen kindly sent over their range of ginger products for me to try and I wish I discovered them during my confinement month because it’s ginger, in its most convenient forms – powder, juice and condensed liquid. And god knows how much ginger we consumed during confinement. This would have saved me a lot of time.

Agreen Ginger Red Dates Longan Tea

Of all the products, I absolutely love drinking the ginger red dates longan tea. I feel like I missed out because they taste absolutely amazing. Better than the ones my confinement nanny made. Shhhh.. don’t tell her.

Agreen Ginger Red Dates Longan Tea comes individually packed. All I have to do is tear, pour and add about 200ml of water. No boiling and waiting around required. Honestly, I’ve been sipping it in its condensed liquid form straight out of the packet – it’s yummeh!

Without being able to actually give you a taste of my ginger red dates longan tea – I’ll try to explain as best I can. It has the natural sweetness of red dates and longan with a distinctive taste of ginger. I know it is made with the real stuff and not artificially flavoured because I could actually see and taste the pulp.

I think it is perfect for confinement mother as it is already in the right dosage in terms of taste and strength. Not all hospital provide red dates tea, so having a box of Agreen Ginger Red Dates Longan Tea in your hospital bag will get you started conveniently right after birth.

According to the company, the product is specifically made to help nourish and assist mothers during confinement. It has absolutely no preservative. The ginger used are 100% pesticide-free and grown in pristine, clean and natural environment such as Taiwan’s Alishan, so you can consume it safely knowing that there will be no unnecessary burden on the digestive and immune system.

I’m late to the party but I hope it’s not too late to start drinking this on a regular basis. Red dates longan ginger tea is known to nourish blood, qi and helps in relieving menstrual cramps and pains. It is recommended for long-term use, pregnant, post-natal or otherwise.

Agreen ginger is also available in powder form and juice straight from the bottle. I used the juice to replace all the fresh ginger in my ginger wine chicken and the dish came out tasting just as good. The juice is pretty strong, you only need to use a small splash in any dish.

There are endless possibilities of what you can do with Agreen Ginger Powder. You can use it to make ginger tea, salad dressing, Teh Halia (Ginger Milk Tea) and even adding it to your bath water during confinement. It helps to drive out chills from the body after childbirth when we tend to be weaker. I think adding ginger powder to a bucket of warm water for a soothing foot bath would be a nice indulgent at the end of a long day too.
