The loquat is in the shape of an olive, but larger than an olive, so half of it will do. For the rest, put a handful of lean meat the size of your palm. Use a sand pot used for stewing rice or soup for children, fill it with water, and simmer it on low heat for two hours before drinking. This is not a medicine, so don't worry! It's just a very ordinary soup, which can be used for both hot and cold coughs.
