Daechu-cha (Korean: 대추차) is a traditional Korean tea made from jujubes.^[1] The tea is deep ruby-brown to rich dark maroon in color and is abundant in iron, potassium, and vitamins B and C.^[2] It is often garnished with pine nuts.^[3]

There are two ways to make daechu-cha: boiling dried jujubes or diluting the preserved jujubes into boiling water.^[2][4] Preserved jujubes can be made by simmering dried—preferably sun-dried—jujubes on low heat for about eight hours to a day, until the liquid becomes sweet and syrupy.^[5] A pre-made sweet jujube syrup is also commercially available in Korean grocery stores.^[6]
