Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon goji berries (wolfberries)
- 1 teaspoon green tea or jasmine tea leaves
- 3–4 thin slices of fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional for taste)
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
- 2 cups warm water (not boiling, about 80°C)
Instructions
- Rinse the goji berries and place them in a teapot or cup. Add the green tea leaves and fresh ginger slices. Pour warm water over them and let it steep for about 5–7 minutes to release their natural nutrients and aroma.
- Add the lemon slices and stir gently. Allow the drink to cool slightly so the temperature becomes comfortable to sip. Avoid adding lemon or honey when the tea is very hot, as it can reduce their nutritional value.
- Strain the tea into a cup, add honey if desired, and enjoy it slowly in the morning on an empty stomach or after meals. You can refill the teapot with warm water once or twice for a lighter brew throughout the day.
