青草茶 (Ingredients for Herbal Tea)
My mate is a big believer of traditional Chinese brews, and here in Taiwan, they are everywhere.
Just across the street where we were having the BBQed pork rice, was a shop selling the fresh herbs needed to make a herbal brew.
I grew up believing in western medications and I still do. Occasionally, I do take some of these brews......but more because I view them as beverages. I have no idea what most of the herbs are, except for the purplish blades, which I know are '紫竹叶' {Phyllostachys nigra (Lodd.) Munro}, which occasionally, can also be found back home in Singapore.
