Milk Tea with Traditional Herbal Benefits

What makes Ginger Milk Tea Boba extra special is the health benefits each ingredient brings to traditional Chinese medicine. 

Chinese Red Dates

Chinese Red Dates, also known as Jujube, are packed with vitamins and minerals. There are many health benefits. The biggest one is its high iron content, which help the blood replenish and circulate, eases anxiety and enhancing sleep. It’s also high in antioxidants, and amazing for gut health and digestive aid. I highly recommend checking out Tily Tea‘s blog post on Red Dates to learn more!

Red Sugar

Red sugar not only makes the drink tastes good, but it also helps promote the formation of blood cells since it contains vitamin B1, B3, B6, and C.

Ginger

Ginger is a popular and often used ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. It is often used to treat fatigue, digestive issues, blood circulation, and blood replenishment.

“Ginger is often adding a small dose to tinctures to encourage better circulation of the medicine around the body. It stimulates circulation, improving blood supply to extremities, and warming cold hands and feet.” I highly recommend reading more about the health benefits of ginger on Twinnings.

Making Milk Tea with Herbal Ginger Tea

I personally love using 2% milk because it gives the perfect amount of creaminess and richness. If lactose intolerant, you can make Ginger Milk Tea with just the tea bag or swap it with soy or oat milk. The only plant-based milk I WOULD NOT recommend for this ginger milk tea is coconut milk. It leaves a thick residue at the top of your mouth when combined with ginger. 

How To Make Herbal Ginger Milk Tea with Boba

1. In a pot, add loose-leaf black tea, ginger, red sugar, and Chinese red dates. Turn the heat to medium, and pan-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the brown sugar has become slightly smokey. 
2. Pour in 6 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes on medium-low heat, and strain all the ingredients. 
3. Bring the pot back to a simmer, and once simmering, add in ¾ cup of sago. Stir and keep cooking for 20 minutes. 
4. After 20 minutes, stir to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom, and turn the heat off. Put the lid on and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. Pour in milk or tea, and enjoy!
