Hi Dean, I used regular pitted dates. I have never tried jujubes, but I believe they come from a different fruit altogether and hence the interesting flavor. Using medjool or a variety of pitted dates should do the trick. Hope this helps!
Hello!
What kind of dates did you use? I tried to make this today with black dried dates (jujubes), but I got very… interesting results. I think the “dates” added a smoky/savory/medicinal flavor to the tea. (A little honey made it more palatable though. Haha!) Could I use dried red jujubes? Or should I use real dates like medjool?
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’m looking forward to making it a second time!
The recipe is missing 1/2 teaspoon black tea leaves. Pls add. thanks
