Three Reds Digestive Tea 三紅茶
In this recipe, I suggested 30 grams of rock sugar. The sugar cuts the tartness of the hawthorn, but you can choose to add no sugar. Honey or brown sugar would be great alternatives too.I added a bit of ginger just to warm the stomach a bit. However, it is not necessary to add the ginger.Chrysanthemum flowers and some green tea can also be added to strengthen the immune system and to boost eye health.You can also drink this tea cold, but for better digestive results, drinking it warm is recommended.
Approximate cost (CAD) $3
Ingredients
- 25 g Dried or fresh hawthorn
- 25 g Dried red dates pitted (small ones are preferred)
- 10 g Dried goji berries
- 30 g Rock sugar (from cane)
- 2 slices Ginger
- 1 L Water
Instructions
- Dry hawthorn usually comes sliced. But if you have whole hawthorn, just slice them into small pieces
- Wash the hawthorn, red dates and goji berries
- Prepare 2 small slices of ginger
- Add 1 L of water in a pot and add the hawthorn, red dates, goji berries and ginger
- Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to low, add 30 g of rock sugar and cook for 30 minutes
- Serve
- After finishing the first batch of tea, you can add another 500 ml of water to the ingredients and repeat step 5 with 15 g of sugar
It won’t be as tasty as the first time, but you should still get some taste from it
