Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups dried, pitted, jujube fruit

To garnish:

  • 2 thin apple slices, lemon, or orange slices
  • 1 TBSP honey optional

Instructions
 

  • If your dried jujubes still have the pits, remove them first.
  • Then, place a small saucepan with 3 cups of water and the pitted jujubes on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • When the water is boiling, cover the pan, turn the stove off, and let the jujubes steep for at least 15 minutes or for up to a few hours for a more concentrated flavor.
  • Strain out the jujube fruit and reserve them for another use. The liquid left behind is jujube tea. If the liquid has cooled due to a longer soak time, reheat the tea to the desired temperature. Garnish with sliced apples and citrus.

Notes

The longer you let the tea infuse and soak with the jujubes, the darker the color will become and the more intense the flavor will be. 
  • 15 min yields a mild color and flavor.
  • 1 hr yields a slightly darker tea with a flavor that has intensified.
  • 2+ hrs yields a dark tea with a strong flavor.
