To start
your day right - once again it had to be - this morning - a classic Asian soft drink. This time it was a white fungus drink from Taiwan.
The ingredients were: 83,1 % water, 8,9% sugar and 8% white fungus (apparently morels). I had comparable
drinks like this quite a few times. You might consider them as a more honest
and similar tasting version of those bird’s nest drinks (see the little swallow on the can). Most of those drinks look
like bird’s nest soup and even taste a bit like that. Maybe because there isn’t
so much overwhelming taste in these soups? Well, OK I better shut up about this delicacy. I once had the opportunity
to have a cup some years ago. This won’t make me an expert in this field ;-). Back to
the drink:

Indigenous Softy: Chiao Kuo Basil Seed Drink with Honey, Taiwan
On an early Sunday morning it might be better to grab for something without alcohol. Maybe!?! I guess. Whatever … today it shalt be like that! Right now I am having a “classic” Chinese soft drink. A basil seed drink with honey!!! It simply consists of water (46%), basil seeds (40%), sugar (13%) and hints of banana and honey.
