'Six-taste' Sweet Dessert Soup （六味糖水）

Nowadays, cooking made easy.  When come to Chinese herb soup, i always buy the pre-measured packaged ingredients as i do not really know how much to get for each ingredients.  I have brought few packages with me to State knowing that it's hard to find here and if we can find, it's much more expensive.
