Ingredients
- 10 pieces Dried Red Dates (Jujube) (Soak overnight; rich in iron and antioxidants)
- 8 pieces Dried Longan Fruit (Soak overnight; adds natural sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons Goji Berries (Soak overnight; boosts immunity and skin glow)
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (Adjust to taste)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (Warm before adding; can use plant‑based milk)
- 4 cups Water (For simmering the herbs)
Instructions
Soak the Dried Fruits
Rinse the dried red dates, longan fruit, and goji berries under cold water, then place them in a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Let them soak overnight (or at least 8 hours) at room temperature.

Simmer the Herbal Tea Base

Strain and Sweeten
Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a heat‑proof bowl or directly into your mug, pressing the solids gently to extract remaining liquid. Stir in brown sugar until fully dissolved.
