A few weeks ago, I wrote of buying the ingredients for making Floating Garden Tea inspired by House of Nanking in San Francisco, California. Well, after one successful attempt it was time to make another batch and brag about it. The original inspiration for the recipe came from a now-defunct blog, but I was thrown a monkey wrench when a lady at a Chinese herbalist suggested I add jujubes or red dates to the mix and cook it all up in a crockpot – which is what I have done here on the second batch. I would have photographed the first batch but I started it late at night and by morning the chrysanthemums were haggard and had sunk to the bottom, but here you can see that as the chrysanthemums, goji berries, rosebuds, and red dates slowly cook, they are simply beautiful.
