How very true that is. I have my master's Dit Da Jow recipe, but it's entirely in Chinese. When I need to brew some, I usually take him with me to Chinatown in Los Angeles to our favorite apothecary. We've been there enough times together that I'm recognizable to the proprietor, so I'm usually well taken care of. Some of the ingredients in my master's formula seem entirely unlikely, but hey, he's the master, not me. My personal supply has been soaking for about five years now and works tremendously well.
