My Warming Goji Tea.

This is a drink I have on regular basis.

Ingredients (yield one serving):

• 2~3 dried longan ( I use those with shells. See picture below.)
• 2 tsp dried goji berries
• 3 jujube (also called "red dates")
• 2~3 slices of dried Astragalus root ( 黄芪 Huang Qi in Chinese) 
• 1 1/2 cups water if soaking or 2 cups if cooking
• (optional) some honey or sugar 

Directions:

Soaking Method:

1. Rinse the dried longan, jujube, dried Astragalus root and goji with water. Crack open the longan and remove the shells. Some people slice jujubes but I usually don't.
2. Use boiling water for the last rinse. Drain well.
3. Use boiling water to rinse thermos flask. Put in all ingredients and pour in 1 1/2 cup boiling water. Tightly close the cap. Let it rest at least 3 hours. Serve.

Cooking Method:

1. Rinse the ingredients well. Remove shells from longan.
2. Add all ingredients with 2 cups of water and simmer 30 min. Serve.

Notes：
It wakes you up in the morning and helps you sleep well at night, so try having it before bedtime as well.
