Living in Asia is a great way to learn about the tea cultures that exist around the region. This is a simplified version of the Chinese Eight Treasures tea, and substitutes the rock sugar for honey to give it a lovely mellow taste that avoids processed sugars.  

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp Chrysanthemum
• 1 Tbsp green tea leaves (or 1 tea bag)
• 1 Tbsp goji berries
• 2 dried plums
• 4 slices fresh ginger

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients into a tea pot with a wire mesh barrier in it to hold the ingredients when you pour the tea (alternatively you can strain the tea from the tea pot with a strainer when you pour it).
2. Pour over hot water, preferably at 80 degrees Celsius (170 degrees Fahrenheit), or boil the water and let it cool a little first.
3. Let the tea steep for at least 10 minutes before you drink it.
4. Strain the tea into a glass or cup and enjoy
