RAW QI CHOCCIE *Recipe*
QI is the newest kid on the SuperFeast apothecary block and my, how we love this delicious blend. In our Western culture, sweet foods can sometimes overwhelm our bodies systems, most notably our spleens. The Qi herbs support the speen and are sweet by nature so they’re great to add in to sweet treats like this.
