Dates Tea

Chinese use dried seedless red dates in almost everything. It can sweeten the bitter Chinese medicine. It can also neutralize some of the malfunctions inside your body.

You can find this ingredient in the Chinese stores easily. The package may show the name as "Dried Ziziphus Jujuba Mill (Red Date)".

Before the delivery of my baby, my best friend, Carol, told me that if I didn't have time to prepare any special post-pregnancy meals, I should have at least brew the dates tea.

I remembered when I was in university, people whom burned the midnight oil all the time relied on this tea to get more energy, instead of caffeine.

Hope you will enjoy this no-brainer recipe as much as I do.

Ingredients
2 dates
2 Cups Hot boiling water

After combining the dates and water together, let it brew for 15-20 minutes or until cool enough to drink.

TIPS
Make sure the dates are seedless. Otherwise, it will work the opposite way.
