Goji Berries, also known as Wolfberries, are small red fruits native to China, Tibet, and Mongolia. Like little raisins, they can be eaten raw as a healthy snack or they can be brewed into a tea. In fact, the Chinese have used these berries for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. They have gained popularity in recent years gaining notoriety as a “superfood” with their high nutrient and antioxidant levels.
Brewing tea is another ancient tradition where tea leaves are brewed in hot water as a healthy and delightful drink. It too has been known to be used for medicinal purposes and studies also indicate that tea is full of healthy compounds including antioxidants.
When you bring these two ingredients together, not only do you get an infusion of flavors that is quite amazing, but you also get twice the amount of nutrients and antioxidant power. Talk about a win-win scenario.
