Place the dried white fungus in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Let it soak for at least 1 hour, or until it has expanded and become soft. Drain and set aside.

In a separate small bowl, soak the dried lotus seeds in cold water for at least 1 hour, or until softened. Drain and set aside.

While the white fungus and lotus seeds are soaking, prepare the jujubes. Cut each organic dried jujube in half or quarters to remove the seeds, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Once the white fungus is soft, use kitchen shears to carefully cut off and discard the hard, yellow root part from the base of each piece. Tear or cut the remaining white fungus into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

In a large pot, combine the prepared white fungus, cut jujubes, and soaked lotus seeds. Add 8 cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes of simmering, add the peach gum and dried Longan meat to the pot. Stir gently to combine.

Continue to simmer the soup, covered, for another 20 minutes.

Add the goji berries to the pot and stir. Continue simmering for an additional 40 minutes, or until the white fungus is very tender and the soup has a slightly thickened consistency.

While the soup is simmering, in a small separate bowl, combine the basil seeds with 1/4 cup of alkaline water. Stir well and let them sit for 5-10 minutes until they expand and form a gel-like consistency.

Once the soup has simmered for a total of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, turn off the heat. Add the expanded basil seeds to the pot.

Stir all the ingredients together gently. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Collagen Dessert Soup is ready to be served warm or chilled.
