Oh ew - when I had my one batch of Chinese herb tea and brewed it up, it was vile. I gave up on it. Sorry probably not what you need to hear! But I managed to get a few doses into me by doing what Tan suggested - letting it cool slightly (not too much or mine was even worse) and chugged it back as quick as I could!

If its not working for you, talk to your TCM practitioner as mine stopped after that and we tried other things so I didn't have to have the herbs.
