Experts say that pears have the effects of promoting salivation, moistening dryness, clearing away heat, and resolving phlegm, and are the most common food for clearing the lungs. Snow pear is sweet, moistens the lungs and cools the heart, tangerine peel regulates qi and dries dampness, and rock sugar moistens the heart and lungs.

Put water in a pot, bring it to a boil, then add the pear skins, pear cores and tangerine peels and continue to simmer over high heat. Skim off the foam, then simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes. Remove the soaked pear flesh and drain the water. Turn off the heat, remove the pear skins and pear cores and discard them. Add the pear flesh and rock sugar and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes until the rock sugar is completely melted. After turning off the heat, sprinkle with wolfberries and serve. 3. Loquat Leaf and Candied Date Soup Loquat leaves are mild in nature and bitter in taste.
