Red date, goji berry and longan tea
Drink hot for a fortifying comfort tea in colder weather or over ice as a cooling summer drink. If you don't finish the tea straight after brewing, pop it in the fridge where it will keep for a few days. Don't strain the fruits if you want deeper flavours to build as it slowly continues to steep. This will last for around a week in the refrigerator, after which the texture will thicken slightly (I don't know why).
