Red Dates, Longan and Goji Berry Tea
INGREDIENTS
3-5 Red dates ( Da Zao)
1/4 cup Goji berries
10 dried Longan
4 cups of water
Optional- Ginger, sliced
PROCEDURE
Remove the pits from the red dates. Then steep red dates in hot water for 15 minutes, let it cool. Drain the herbs and discard the water.
Transfer red dates into a sauce pot. Add in longans. Cover the pot, bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes. Add in the goji berries and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Strain the tea. Add sugar (preferably dark brown sugar) if needed. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.
NOTES
Variation: Add one or two ginger slices in Step 2 and simmer together with the red dates and dried longans.
It's important to use seedless red dates to reduce the heat of the drink. Longans are also considered warm in nature, so use less or drink less of the tea if you are feeling hot\.
