Jujube tea is a Chinese tea made from jujubes.[1] The tea is deep ruby-brown to rich dark maroon in color and is abundant in iron, potassium, and vitamins B and C.[2] It is often garnished with pine nuts.[3]
Preparation
[edit]Jujube tea can be made by boiling dried jujubes or diluting the preserved jujubes into boiling water.[2][4] Preserved jujubes can be made by simmering dried—preferably sun-dried—jujubes on low heat for about eight hours to a day, until the liquid becomes sweet and syrupy.[5] A pre-made sweet jujube syrup is also commercially available in Chinese grocery stores.[6]
