Elaine : To double boil, the soup is placed in a pot and the said pot is placed into a bigger pot. The bigger pot contains water which is boiled constantly on medium or low heat. You can get a double-boiler from some kitchenware shops especially in Chinatown.

Hi Pablopabla

I stumble upon your blog. What a great gem! Could I ask how do you double-boil? Do you keep the water boiling on high heat, medium heat or low heat for 3 hours?

Thanks so much in advance,
Elaine

I always adore Chinese tonic soup for its nourishing and comforting qualities. I brothed Chinese herbal black chicken soup today and it seems that my physical well-being is boosted. I can feel the sweetness of your herbal soup, judging from the herbs combination you’re using, honey dates, red dates, dried longan, yuk chuk… It’ll be sweeter if you use black chicken.
