Mulberry Mistletoe (Sang Ji Sheng 桑寄生) is a specialty ingredient in Chinese soup and simmer drink culture. It can be used as a soup add-on or gently simmered on its own as a light herbal-style drink. In traditional recipe culture and classic references, Sang Ji Sheng is often mentioned in everyday “wellness-style” soup/drink pairings, and it commonly appears in themed recipes such as postpartum/confinement-style soups, women’s seasonal soup-drink traditions, and evening-style soothing drink combinations (shared as food culture references only).

It is also well known in Hong Kong/Guangdong dessert culture through the classic sweet drink Sang Ji Sheng Lotus Seed Egg Tea, sometimes simply called Sang Ji Sheng Egg Tea —a gentle, comforting flavour many people associate with the taste of home.
