Golden Monk Fruit, Almond & Dried Fig Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo has a particular fondness for golden monk fruit — unlike the traditional smoked version, it is made by gently dehydrating fresh fruit at a low temperature, so it keeps its natural sweetness without any smoky aftertaste. This tea is his go-to recommendation for anyone dealing with a dry, scratchy throat from talking too much, smoky environments, or the simple dryness of autumn. It is also genuinely pleasant to drink — naturally sweet, clean-tasting, and easy to make.

Method

1. Break or crush the monk fruit into small pieces.
2. Slice the dried figs.
3. Place all three ingredients into a reusable tea bag or infuser.
4. Put the infuser into a teapot or large mug.
5. First pour a small amount of boiling water over the ingredients, swirl briefly, and discard this rinse.
6. Pour fresh boiling water over the ingredients and allow to steep for 10 minutes.
7. Drink and continue refilling with boiling water until the flavour fades.

Nourilo’s Tips

This tea has a pleasant natural sweetness that suits all ages — young and old alike. For those who smoke or drink alcohol regularly, it is especially valuable as a daily support drink. Regular use is traditionally associated with strengthening general wellness and supporting the body’s natural resilience. You can keep refilling the pot until the tea loses its flavour.
