There is a touching story behind it. It was said that 100 years ago, one old lady at Panyu County suffered from cough. She was told that ginger pop could cure her cough, but the ginger pop was too hot to drink. So her daughter-in-law stewed buffalo milk with sugar, then, mixed it with ginger pop. It was a wonder that the milk coagulated. After drinking the milk, the old lady felt better. Next day, her cough was cured. Thereafter ginger milk soon got popular among the folks. According to the traditional Chinese medicine, ginger milk could nourish stomach, fend off cold and maintain complexion.
