Red Date And Goji Berry Tea

Red date and goji berry tea, as I like to call “mothers’ tea,” is a pleasant and warming drink that all mothers would benefit from. Brimming with antioxidants, this sweet and tart tea can be sipped throughout the day, as it helps the body stay in good health.

Red dates, also known as jujubes, are superfruits high in antioxidants and vitamin C. They are known for their cardiovascular benefits, as well as for boosting immunity, improving digestion, and enhancing sleep quality. They are often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and are ideal for postpartum recovery because they improve circulation and reduce fatigue by nourishing the blood.

Goji berries are full of antioxidants (particularly zeaxanthin). They are high in vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, and are known to boost immunity, protect eye health, and improve skin hydration. They are also rich in iron, which is beneficial for combating postpartum anemia and fatigue, as they build and nourish the blood.

With these two star ingredients, this red date and goji berry tea is a wonder-duo, as it helps the body stay in good health. Not only that, this warm and pleasant drink provides a mother a moment to reflect and remember what we do this all for in the first place.

How To Make

All you need to make this superstar tea are:

• red dates
• goji berries

You may also add some sweetener, such as honey, maple syrup, or cane sugar, but I find this tea is perfectly sweet as is, and sweetener doesn’t seem necessary to me.

Method

Bring 3 cups filtered water to a boil. Next, halve the red dates and add them to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to simmer and allow to cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour. In the last 10 minutes, add your goji berries and any sweetener if you desire. Strain the tea and enjoy! The tea may also be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
