About the Recipe
This blend is helpful when you feel overheated, dry, or emotionally brittle. Goji nourishes the eyes and blood, white mulberry moistens and clears internal dryness, and rose softens emotional edges and supports gentle circulation. Think: irritated skin, red eyes, restlessness, or snappish moods.
Ingredients
1 tbsp dried goji berries
1 tbsp dried white mulberry fruit (sang shen)
1 tsp dried rose petals (culinary grade)
16–20 oz hot water
Preparation
Place all herbs in a tea strainer or directly in a heat-safe jar.
Pour just-boiled water over the mixture.
Steep for 10–15 minutes, or until the color deepens.
Drink warm or room temperature; eat the goji berries at the end if desired.
Primary Symptoms
Dryness, restlessness, heat signs (e.g., red eyes, mild irritability)
Notes and Variations
Add chrysanthemum if you have eye strain or mild headaches from screen time
Omit rose if feeling sensitive to smells or emotionally raw
Add a few jujubes (chinese dates) if you're fatigued or run cold and need a touch more warmth
Great in late summer or fall when internal dryness peaks
