I only just discovered chinese red dates (that's what we call them in Oz) and would never have thought to use them in a tea. I was told to use them in cooking or eat them raw to help build my blood (blood tonic)??!! I'm not sure if you have a medicinal section in your blog... but I'm keen to use food for health so any tips would always be appreciated! Thanks! I finally checked out your blog and it looks great!
