    Cooking notes & tips

    • You are welcome to use the cotton muslin bag to keep the herbs neat in the pot during the cooking process. Give the bag a squeeze in the pot at the end of cooking to extract all the flavour from the herbs before removing. The cotton bag can be washed and reused.
    • To further enhance the sweetness from the red dates, either: (1) cut the red dates in half before adding to pot (pit does not need to be removed unless preferred); or (2) once cooked, the red dates will be soft; you can use the back of a spoon /ladle to give the red dates a squeeze against the sides of the pot; this will break up the red date and release its sweetness into the tea.
    • Maximise the sweetness infused in the tea by cooking it for longer
