Ginger teaIngredients: 12 jujubes, 3-4 ginger slices, 20 grams of brown sugar.
Method for making raisin ginger tea:
1. Rinse the jujubes under running water to remove surface dust; slice the ginger with its skin on and prepare about 20 grams of brown sugar;
2. Place the jujubes and ginger slices in a small pot, add cold water, and simmer until boiling.



3. Boil for another 5 minutes, then add the brown sugar and stir until completely dissolved; turn off the heat immediately, drink it while hot!
Tip
1. When boiling jujubes, white froth may appear on the surface of the water; this is protein from the jujubes, harmless to the body. If it looks uncomfortable, you can skim it off.
2. For those with constipation issues, remove the kernels before boiling as jujube kernels are warming while the flesh is not.Raisin nutritional valueRaisins
