Licorice infusion against heartburn Drinking an infusion of licorice stimulates the mucous secretion of the stomach walls and thus helps to reduce acidity and ulcers. Lemon juice also serves this purpose, although it works in another way: citric acid produces carbon dioxide (CO2) in the stomach, which in the presence of water in the body turns into bicarbonate, a substance well known for heartburn.  This herbal tea helps to relieve and heal stomach ulcers. You need licorice, pennyroyal, horsetail, and shepherd's purse in equal measure. Preparation: 1. Separate tablespoon of mixture per cup of water. 2. Boil for a minute, let it rest for another 10 and filter. 3. Drink a cup after meals.

 CENTENARY EGG, CHINA Imagine that you go to a restaurant and they put a kind of hard-boiled egg in green and brown tones, with the smell of strong cheese and a gelatinous texture. And imagine that the chef tells you that he has prepared it by preserving the egg for several weeks in a mixture of ashes, clays and minerals. Here you would be thinking of running away from the restaurant, but in China it seems like a delicacy. Because in the Asian country they do things their own way and, for them, burying an egg also counts as cooking. A centennial egg is called a dish considered a Chinese delicacy and that is made by preserving a duck, chicken or quail egg in quicklime, clay, ashes, and various minerals (generally requires an alkaline environment) for several weeks or months (depending on the type of processing).

 Día de los Reyes Magos Hello, I am going to tell you a little about what my family and I usually celebrate.  In my family we do not take this celebration with a religious tendency, but we take it as a way in which we all get together.  Early we are going to buy the  "Rosca de Reyes"  is a kind of donut-shaped bread but large and has a characteristic flavor.  Inside it brings some dolls that if they touch you in your slice you have to give the tamales on the "Día de la Candelaria" so it is very fun to see who gets the doll, we also usually accompany it with hot drinks like champurrado, coffee or chocolate and it's very sweet. We had a great time, everyone eating and choosing their own piece of thread, nobody wants the doll to come out so they think whether to take another slice or not. I love it.
