Our concoction
Ingredients:
1. 10 goji berries
2. 1 tsp honey
3. 1 cup hot boiling water

Directions:

1. Add goji berries into a cup.

2. Pour hot water.

Nutritional Value:

Weight for weight, goji berries are supposed to contain more vitamin C than oranges, more beta-carotene than carrots and more iron than steak.

The beta-carotene in the fruit is thought to help fight heart disease, defend against cancer and protect skin from sun-damage. The berries are a good source of B vitamins and anti-oxidants - which may help protect against the fallout from chemical reactions in the body.

Goji berries are also rich in copper, calcium, potassium and zinc. They are believed by the Chinese to be beneficial to the liver, improve eyesight, reduce heart disease, reduce diabetes and promote overall good and strong health.

Daddy requested for goji berries tea this morning. This is how the Danes consume their goji berries, very different from the Chinese, but quick and easy.
