Brewed 10 berries which came out to 2.5g in 200mL boiling water. Mild infusion, lightly sweet with a faint taste of goji berries which is reminiscent of raisins. The engorged berries are a sweet treat. Let them steep forever to extract the most flavor.
Edit: I think these were marked best by January 2020. The berries were still supple and pliable. It’s dried fruit hit with boiling water. I don’t think freshness is a concern.

Tried this yesterday and haven’t wrote a note, because of broken Steepster and I was busy with my thesis. It isn’t bad, though I have used 300 ml/20 berries. I tried to crush them with a teaspoon which produced bit better flavour; and ate them afterwards, though I ate only half of them. Not for daily eating berry, but interesting to try it!
My father told me if I am gonna intoxicate myself with those red, dangerous looking berries!
I found that no matter how long I steeped them, they did not produce much flavor, so I finally wound up eating the rehydrated berries for their medicinal properties. Not at all impressed.
Yep, brewing them seems bit weird. Though rehydrated they are okay I think :) Not a drink for every day; but now and then, why not… though I have too many of them :D
It is very mild and not worth it as a beverage in itself. Maybe added to other teas to give a natural sweetness.
That indeed seems like a good idea derk, I will give it a try in some teas.
