Type	Herbal tea
Origin	China
Ingredients	Jujubes

Jujube Tea is a traditional 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

There are two ways to make Jujube Tea: boiling dried jujubes or diluting the preserved jujubes into boiling water.²⁴ 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
