Organic Walnut Muffins with Raisins Soaked in Black Dragon Oolong Tea

The key ingredient in this recipe is the Black Dragon tea which derives its name from the Chinese (乌龙) Oolong. It is a semi-oxidised traditional Chinese tea that is especially popular in South China. It is known to improve cardiovascular health and help prevent strokes and high blood pressure. It also helps prevent obesity by boosting the metabolism.

This recipe incorporates coconut nectar sugar which is a healthier sugar alternative as it includes various trace amounts of minerals such as iron, zinc and potassium. More importantly, it slows down the sugar absorption in the body due to its low glycaemic index (GI:55).

In addition, walnuts add an additional crunchy texture and are also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids which are great for both our brain and heart health.
