Instructions for making jiaogulan tea
Tea made from Jiaogulan tastes bitter and at the same time slightly sweet. In southern China, where this tea has been drunk for centuries, people call it "Xiancao", which means "herb of immortality". Jiaogulan tea has a harmonizing effect on body and mind - similar to ginseng - and the preparation is very easy.
Jiaogulantea (pronounced "Djau-Gu-Lan-Tea") is not only drunk in China and Japan, but is also becoming increasingly popular in the United States and Europe. Jiaogulan tea is an inexpensive alternative to ginseng, and the Chinese say it is like ginseng but better.

Jiaogulan Tea - How To Make It
- Do the math per liter water about 2-3 teaspoons of jiaogulan tea leaves or 2 tea bags.
- Bring a liter of water to a boil, let the water cool for about 20 seconds (similar to making green tea).
- Then put the tea leaves or tea bags in the hot water. Then let the jiaogulan tea steep for about 3 to 5 minutes. If you prefer a strong taste, it makes sense to let the tea steep longer. However, there is then the risk that it will become bitter. Try it out.
How to vary the preparation
- You can create an interesting variation by adding a small piece of fresh ginger.
- If you want the taste a little fresher, add a little lemon juice to the finished tea.
