In the perpetual summer of tropical Singapore, what are some ‘liang’ (凉) or cooling remedies that can help ease the heat? 

Here are some recipes that I’d like to share. They are a compilation of teas and soups that my parents and I have made, and recipes from participants who have graciously submitted their favourites for this project, often honouring someone whom they love through the memory of the recipes that their loved ones once made. 

As with many recipes, adaptation or making-do is key. Enjoy!
