Peel yam and cut it into 1-2cm pieces or hob blocks. Soak Nostoc flagelliforme in cold water for 2-3 hours, pick up impurities and wash it.

Put the soaked Nostoc flagelliforme and Chinese yam together in 1 liter of water, cook for 15 minutes, then stew for 20 minutes, and then filter the soup for drinking.

Note: People with constipation are not suitable to eat Nostoc flagelliforme. Nostoc flagelliforme itself is a cold food, while some constipation patients belong to yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution. People with yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution are afraid of "cold" symptoms such as cold, indigestion or puffiness, and they all avoid cold and cool foods. The cold and cool nature of Nostoc flagelliforme just contributes to the "cold" symptoms in constipation patients.
