Black Mulberry, Goji and Longan Tea

Why people make this tea

Nourilo prefers dried black mulberries to fresh ones — fresh mulberries spoil quickly, while the dried sort keep well and stay nutritious. Ripe black mulberries are traditionally valued to support the eyes, encourage graceful ageing and keep hair dark, and they carry plant compounds and vitamins long associated with everyday wellbeing. This little “mulberry, goji and longan tea” is steeped in minutes and is traditionally enjoyed to nourish the liver and kidney, replenish the blood and brighten the eyes.

Method

1. Put all the ingredients in a pot and rinse once with boiling water.
2. Pour in fresh boiling water, cover and steep for 15 minutes. Drink.

Nourilo’s Tips

Sweet and pleasant, suitable for young and old, and a kind choice for those who feel anaemic or run-down. Pregnant women should leave out the longan and use red or black dates in its place.
