There is often a jug of homemade medicinal wine in Taiwanese abodes, a glass of which comes in handy when the weather gets cold. Taken just before going to bed, it helps the circulation of the blood and qi, warms the hands and feet, and leaves a sweet aftertaste, with the effects lasting until morning.
在臺灣人家中，普遍都泡有一缸私房藥酒，天冷時節，睡前小飲一杯，血氣暢通，手暖腳暖，一覺香甜到天明。
