Preparation:
Simmer over low heat about 1/2 litre of water with the lemongrass and spices inside.
Once you notice small bubbles forming, add in the red dates and wolfberries.
Continue to simmer for another 20 mins. By now both of these ingredients would have been expanded.
Add in the lotus nuts and water chestnuts.
Simmer for another 15 mins and that's it.
