Chinese Jujube Tea (红枣茶)

Step 1

Place the jujubes in a large bowl and water to cover. Soak for 10 minutes. Then gently rub the jujube surface to remove any dust. Drain and discard the water. Halve the jujubes using a paring knife, then remove the cores.

Step 2

Rinse the goji berries with water. Gently rub to remove any dirt from the surface.

Step 3

Add the jujubes, goji berries and ginger to a small pot. Add 4 cups of water. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Turn to medium-low heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Once done, strain the tea using a small strainer. Press the jujubes to release as much liquid as possible.

Step 5

Add the brown sugar and stir to mix well. Taste the tea and add more sugar if needed. Serve hot.
