Nourishing Pear and Jujube Tea: Perfect for Seasonal Changes
Boost Immunity with Pear and Jujube Tea During Seasonal Transitions
Let’s make a healthy and delicious Pear and Jujube Tea to protect your family’s health during the changing seasons! This tea is not only good for you but also wonderfully comforting.
Tea Ingredients- 5 Pears
- 50 Jujubes (Korean dried dates)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to ensure cleanliness, soak the wrinkled jujubes in water for a while. After soaking, rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or dust. Prepare them for use.
Step 2
Next, wash the pears well. Peel them, then cut out and discard the core and seeds, keeping only the pear flesh. Removing the seeds is crucial to avoid any bitterness in the tea.
Step 3
Now, in a large pot, add clean water. Place all the prepared pear flesh into the pot. The pear will contribute a subtle sweetness and body to the tea.
Step 4
For a richer and more profound flavor, it’s time to prepare the jujubes. Carefully remove the seed from each jujube. While it might be a bit tedious, removing all the seeds prevents the tea from tasting bitter and ensures a pure, sweet flavor.
Step 5
Add the deseeded jujubes to the pot with the pears. All the preparation is now complete! Simply cover and simmer everything thoroughly. It’s a straightforward process!
Step 6
To extract the full essence, simmer the mixture gently over low heat for an extended period, much like making bone broth. Continue cooking until the pears are completely soft and start to break down, and the jujubes become tender and release their flavor. This slow simmering allows all the nutrients and taste to infuse into the water.
Step 7
During the simmering process, make sure to remove the stems from the jujubes as well. The stems can sometimes impart a slightly astringent or bitter taste, so removing them ensures a cleaner, more pleasant flavor profile for your tea.
Step 8
Once the tea is brewed, strain it using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the solids (pear and jujube pieces). Store the finished tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Gently reheat and enjoy whenever you like; it’s wonderfully warming and beneficial for the immune system during seasonal changes.
Step 9
The Pear and Jujube Tea, brewed with care and patience, has yielded a wonderfully rich and deep infusion. Enjoy the naturally sweet flavor and healthful essence of this comforting beverage!
