This citrus goji berry tea or punch is so easy, so nutritious and of course so delicious.

The vibrant orange-red hue of this Citrus Goji Berry Tea is eye-catching. It’s possible, if given half a chance, that it could even stop passerby in their tracks. If you’re avoiding public attention for any reason… Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Goji Berry Tea Ingredients
Add as much or as little maple syrup as you prefer. I prefer this Citrus Goji Berry Tea a bit more on the tart side. It’s more like a goji lemonade, rather than a super sweet cocktail. But you make it the way you like it.
Then share with all your friends… or make extras and drink it all. You won’t get any judgment from me!
I love serving this brightly flavoured goji berry tea with extra slices of fresh lemon or orange. It’s best served ice cold and/or with a castle of ice cubes.
Pro Tips for the Perfect Punch
- Make ahead and chill overnight for best flavour.
- Use a nut milk bag for ultra-smooth results.
- Double strain for party-worthy presentation. You’ll notice a big difference if you choose not to strain the punch at all.
- Serve ice-cold with fresh citrus slices.
