Longan, Goji, Ginger and Roasted Brown Rice Tea

Why people make this tea

This one is pure childhood nostalgia for Nourilo. Around Lunar New Year his parents would brew a big pot of red-date water for guests, sometimes adding longan and goji — sweet, comforting, and good for you. Since early spring still carries a chill, this version adds toasted brown rice and ginger to warm the stomach and chase the cold away.
