How to Make Goji Berry Tea

Goji berries are small berries that when dried resemble raisins. They are extremely sweet, tasting somewhat like a mix between a cranberry and a cherry. They are used in many recipes as well as for snacking. When used in tea, goji berries are said to offer antioxidant properties as well as aid in weight loss. Making goji berry tea is fairly simple and offers a refreshing and tasty alternative to traditional tea.
