Rock Sugar & Chinese Green Olive Tea

Why people make this tea

Chinese green olives are traditionally valued to clear heat, soothe the throat, generate fluids and quench thirst. Simmered with a little rock sugar, this tea is wonderfully cooling for a parched throat. A nice fact: green olives are among the highest-calcium fruits there are, well ahead of even calcium-rich figs. They are available at Chinese or Asian grocers.
