2024 Winter Limited - Jujube

▙▝▞▙ Winter tonics in Taiwan vol.3 ▞▛▝
As the northeast monsoon sweeps in with full force, all kinds of cold-weather gear emerge—thermal wear, heat packs, down jackets, hats, gloves, and socks. A complete arsenal to battle the relentless chill from the north. But why not spend this winter curled up indoors, streaming your favorite shows, and enjoying a soft, cozy season?

While transforming into couch potatoes, a few snacks are essential to satisfy cravings. Dried guava and raisins are the perfect picks—rich guava and grapes, condensed into delightful bites that pack the taste of summer sunshine without the fear of extra pounds. Brew a cup of dried longan tea with a few red dates for a sweet and nourishing boost. Add a slice of longan cake, and you’re set for a winter full of warmth and happiness.

Dried jujube is the soul of traditional herbal soups. Just one or two pieces can turn the bitter, earthy broth into a fragrant, sweet delight. Pair it with dried longan to create a warm and comforting dessert soup. One sip will chase away the winter chill, wrapping you in cozy sweetness.
