How to use
How do you make ginseng tea with dried ginseng roots?
The pack recipe: boil 4 cups (about 950 mL) of water in a saucepan. Add 2 oz (about 57 g) of dried ginseng, lower the heat, and simmer for 2 hours. The pack suggests the tea can be taken two to four times a day, served with honey for flavour.
How do you make ginseng chicken soup with the roots?
The pack recipe serves 3 to 4: 1 chicken chopped into small pieces with the skin removed, 2 oz (about 57 g) of dried ginseng, 5 cups (about 1.2 L) of water, 5 dried red dates and a pinch of salt.
Blanch the chicken pieces in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. Put the chicken and the rest of the ingredients in a pot with the water, bring to a boil, and keep it on high heat for 10 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer for at least another 40 minutes. Add salt to taste.
At 2 oz per recipe, one 4.2 oz box covers about two batches of tea or soup.

Fine roots vs slices — which Sahm dried ginseng should I buy?
Both are dried Panax quinquefolius grown in Ontario. This box holds the roots themselves, so you decide how to cut and portion them. Sahm Canadian Dried Ginseng Slices come pre-cut in a 5.3 oz (150 g) box and go straight into a cup or pot.

American ginseng differs from Korean ginseng in species and origin. American ginseng is Panax quinquefolius, native to eastern North America; this box is grown in Ontario, Canada. Korean ginseng is Panax ginseng, native to Korea and northeast China. For a Korean-grown root, see Korean White Ginseng Root.
