Three Jujube Tea (San Zao Cha)

Why people make this tea

Some children seem to catch every cold going around, and once they start coughing, it lingers for weeks. Parents know how frustrating it can be when a child refuses bitter herbal teas. This three-jujube tea solves that problem: it tastes naturally sweet and mild, making it far easier to get children to actually drink it. In traditional Cantonese food therapy, all three varieties of jujube are believed to have anti-allergic properties and a nourishing effect on the blood, which is why this combination has been used for generations to support children with sensitive airways and recurring coughs.
