Ingredients (4 servings)

1
Soak dried bitter melon in cold water for 2 minutes to remove surface dust, then drain.
2
Halve and pit jujubes, then thinly slice ginger.
3
Combine water, bitter melon, jujubes, tangerine peel, and ginger in a pot and bring to a boil.
4
Reduce to low heat and simmer for 25 minutes to balance bitter and sweet notes.
5
Strain the tea and dissolve honey thoroughly.
6
Pour into cups and top with a few pine nuts for aroma.

If bitterness is strong, start with 20 g bitter melon.

Use a small amount of peel; too much white pith can add astringency.
