Servings: 2
Equipment
- Pot or heat-proof bowl
Ingredients
- 6-8 tablespoons dried goji berries Rinse first (the traditional Chinese way to make tea is to pour boiling over, then throw the water away- the berries will then have been "washed").
- 4 Cups Hot Water
Optional ingredients
- brown sugar, rock sugar, osmanthus sugar, jujube syrup or honey To sweeten, to taste
- fresh ginger slices, ginseng, jujube red dates (seed removed as it is heaty) Complementary ingredients- these should be mixed with the goji berries from the start (i.e. steeped for the same amount of time)
Instructions
- Bring the water to the boil, then pour it over the goji berries.
- Leave to steep for at least 20 minutes.
- Optional: sweeten with brown sugar, rock sugar, osmanthus sugar, jujube syrup or honey. If using sugar, you will need to add this with the boiling water so the heat can dissolve it.
